Sorry, but you have been scammed.
Since you fell for that scam, you will now be subjected to others, as the scammers know you are an easy mark.
Things to believe:
• "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."
• If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄-
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet or hear on the phone is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!◄- ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄-
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or a different famous software company, or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you Vanilla Card, GreenDot, MoneyGram, Western Union or use any gift/money card to send money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Geeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites, or a statement that your computer is infected.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!
• The number you see on your Caller ID may not be the number of the person who called you!

Received several calls today from this number. First he was from social security wanting asking for my ss#. Hung up in his face. Then he called back stating that he was from UPS and will be delivering a certified check on tomorrow and will anyone be home. I asked for his manager and employee id#. He hung up. Call again around 9:45pm and stated that his manager wanted to talk to me. Dogs were barking in the back ground. I told him that I was filing a police report with is number. He then call me a a name and hung up. SCAM SCAM SCAM
