Got another warning today from this Indian sounding

[doc03]

guy telling me the USDOJ is investigating me for SS fraud. Press one for help.
I am also being investigated for fraudulent Ohio unemployment clsims. ( Last unemployment claim was 12 years ago)
The extended warranty on my 2011 Chevy Cruise also needs renewed. (Never had an extended warranty and sold my Cruise 6 years ago.)
I wonder how many poor suckers they rob everyday.

I may be in prison before Trump.

1. How About Microsoft Tech Support?

That's another one on the scam list.

I always ask them if their mother knows they're crooks. That is, if I stay on the line that long.

Or even answer the phone in the first place.

4. I am missing out Microsoft hasn't bothered me yet. nt

18. Use to get that call.

They would ask if I was at my puter. I’d say yes and act dumb. Push the bottom left key. I’d do it and say nothing happen. After a while they’d figure out I have a Mac and then click.

[SYFROYH]

2. Sounds legit.

just kidding.

[FSogol]

3. I got one from the US Dept of Social Security!

[RainCaster]

5. Publishers Clearinghouse called me today-

They have a $1.25M check and a pearl white Lincoln car for me.

6. Yesterday was a call every 10 minutes informing me that my cloud account had been

breached. All the phone numbers calling had the same area code and first 3 numbers of my home number. Just the last 4 were different. I just answer and hang up.

If I get the type of call you did, I push 1 to talk to them, and when they answer I say Los Angeles Police Department Fraud Detection Unit, how can I help you? They usually hang up right away.

7. We're getting calls and e-mails from "Amazon" telling

us a charge of so and so amount has come from our account, and to call if it wasn’t us. It wasn’t. I didn’t call.

[Demovictory9]

9. Been getting those lately

[Buns_of_Fire]

21. I could open my own Apple Store if I had all the iPhones

that've been "charged" to my Amazon account.

8. Why do we get calls like this? Answer: "These calls work on some people".. How do I know?

Over and over again I get them....one variation or another....Here is the total answer as to why we get them?______________________________________________________________________________

If they didn't work, we wouldn't get them....Like a very bad TV commercial that doesn't sell anything.
If it doesn't work, the company will not go to the trouble to make another and another...So we all
think these calls are so stupid and awful...Why do we keep getting them???

..."Because they work on some people"..........you don't think so?...Well the scammers
who make these calls know from experience that they work on..."some people".... so they
go to the trouble to make more, and more, and more of them....&..."MORE OF THEM"
________________________________________________________________________________
You still don't think so?....Do some research on this topic...scam calls....and you will find that
these calls have been going on for a very long time....(maybe decades)

11. My neighbors mother got a call from someone

claiming to be her bank calling. She was tricked into giving them her account number to verify her account. Luckily she told her son and they got all their accounts changed before they took anything.

[Treefrog]

12. I never answer numbers I don't recognize. Simple.

They rarely leave messages.

[multigraincracker]

19. I love to answer them with

Detective Cracker, what do you have for me? When they say nothing, I say trace this one Bob. Lick. No more calls. Haven’t had one in 6 months.

[happybird]

10. Love it when they say the police are on the way to arrest me

Suuuuure they are, buddy.

[doc03]

13. One thing though they say Republicans are 80%

more likely to fall for fake news.

[LakeArenal]

14. Or the FBI. Like they give a warning.

We got one that said our accounts are frozen as we had downloaded child porn. Asked for $500 immediately or FBI was going to arrest me.

I didn’t pay. No one arrested me.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

15. The first one I received said that they were going to turn me over to "the local cops"

Oh no! Not the local cops!1!1!111!1!!!

[DavidDvorkin]

16. Those are laughable, but what's very upsetting about them

Is that they probably work on those least able to afford being scammed.

I can't understand the moral code -- rather, lack of one -- that lets someone do such scamming.

17. Same recorded voice from 2 local numbers tells me U.S. Customs

has seized a package that has my address on it.

20. We've gotten two of the same kind of call in the past couple weeks.

Fast talker with an Indian/ Pakistani accent told my wife it was urgent that she take steps to aquire an app which would head off a fraudulent charge to our bank account.

He would walk her through it.
