So I have an account on care.com for dog walking service and got a text message from this number asking met to email her sister who is looking for a dog walker. I emailed and got a response that was very detailed and basically saying they wanted to hire me to walk there two dogs when they moved to this area. They would send a cashier check ahead of time as the dogs might get there before they do and so on.... Well I'm thankfully aware of scams like this and hope this helps someone make the decision that it's to good to be true and they are scamming you for money. Even if your bank accepts the check about 7 days later it will deny it and your bank account can be negative by thousands of dollars. They will try everything to get you to send them money as fast as possible because of this. Be aware! You work hard for your money, don't let people do this to you!!!
Tho I have had a few calls recently from unavailable/witheld numbers telling me "someone in my household has had a car accident in the past two years" - which they haven't. So they are obviously just a claims company fishing and I wonder if it's the same one.
The previous call I got so fed up I said Yes I did, and I could hear them being so pleased with themselves. Then I said that would be the collision I had with a leprechaun. And they put the phone down on me. How rude!
Same number called AGAIN this time just wanting to ask me "a few simple lifestyle questions". It won't take very long, they said. Damn right it didn't !!!
called several times today. stating they were from tech support for windows and that my computer had been reported for down loading bad software. could bearly understand what the individual was saying. they could not speak english.
have gotten a lot of calls from area code 201 claiming to be from windows. Obviously with Indian accents and claiming to be in various American states.
