Already had this number blocked, so phone only rang once at 7:00 pm today. Thank god for the internet and sharing about scams! Am on the DO NOT CALL list but it seems to be useless. Bought a phone system with "Call Block" option on it ... Worth every penny.
Ok. Let me post this a bit slower so that you can understand what I want. Tell me one verifiable person that has even had that happen, let alone actually having to pay that imaginary bill.
Slow enough for you to understand? Verifiable, can you understand that word or do I need to define it for you.
Exact words from you post that you claim proves your point:
"So far, there are no reports any Canadians have been defrauded as a result of the scam." "her answer might have been edited and used" So we something that MIGHT have happened, and we also know that no one has reported being scammed in this manner.
So what does this prove other than no one can come up with one VERIFIABLE story of just one single person being scammed this way. Amazing how this so called scam doesn't seem to have any victims as of yet.
Oh, and one other thing. I would suggest that you never, ever say "yes" again for the rest of your life. You see, with all the different recording devices today, even in smart phones, you might say "yes" to someone and they could record it and use it against you. At least according to you that is.
This is simply something that someone started in social media and it has been tweeted and retweeted ad infinum until it has taken on a life of its own. All because people are not able to think for themselves anymore, but believe everything they see on those smart phones.
Well, you are either naive or you are part of the scam. This method of scam were in TV news few months ago....not only on one channel....Even from the state side.
OK, you bunch, now listen here! You are clouding the issue with this "Yes" business. First to blogger nicknamed "He just called me too": OK, you see it as a Scam. Probably true. But is saying "Yes" really relevant to this report? As for not saying "Yes", I'm afraid you can't believe everything you hear on even trusted networks like Global. Listen closely to the actual story and don't trust the headline. Now, to "Big A": Don't be nasty, now. Some folks react a bit too quickly to these urban myths but your sarcasm won't help. Same with you "Big Bad John". I don't want to repeat that current phrase "False News" but sometimes it is, just like the baby in the microwave. It's all tabloid journalism. And IMHO, you could be a little nicer, too.
Now, would everybody please get back to the subject at hand: (647) 846-3283. We got a call, too, and there was a split second sound of a voice, but then nothing. Connection was broken. Annoying!
