I've just got an unsolicited call about my computer...

[Hekate]

35. I heard from them too, rather recently

I played along to the extent of trying to get a phone number "so I can call you back," but the caller just kept acting more confused. He claimed to be from Health and Human Services. I finally told him it was a scam and I was going to call the cops.

So I called the cops, in case they were keeping track of trending scams. The guy I talked to was nice -- he asked if any of the info they claimed to have was accurate, and I said the only part that was accurate was that I am a senior citizen. He said, "This one must be inexperienced. They usually get a bunch of information off people's families' FaceBooks, like 'My grandma just had hip surgery' kind of thing." Told me to warn my neighbors.
