Can anyone tell me if they have had a significant increase in the amount of telemarketing/ Spam phone calls - I receive 4-6 a day and I am SUPPOSED to be on the do not call registry. I am about ready to change my number!
i received a call today from 213-640-3024 caller ID says ticketmaster. I answered the call the lady said she was from the federal government and that they were granting me $9000 this is not a loan. they are giving me this money because I have always paid my taxes on time and never been arrested. etc etc then i said who did you say was giving me this money she said the federal gov i asked from what country she says USA i said really. then she says the only way they can give me this money is to give them my bank account number or a credit card that they can add it to. lol i said have them mail me a check but they cant do that so do i forfeit the money. you think click
Scam!!!!! This was our conversation...So, I just received a call from 213-640-3025
"PC SOLUTIONS" warning me that my windows computer had viruses. He was not a happy camper by the end of the call!
It went like this...
Him- I'm calling from PC solutions blah blah blah.
Me- ok.
Him- I'm calling because your computer has serious viruses.
Me- huh?
Him- yes, you computer has taken on little viruses in which over time will cause huge problem.
Me- hmm ok.
Him- ok?
Me- yeah, because I don't have a computer!
Him- then why did you keep saying ok when I was talking, are you F-ing stupid or something?
Me- no, not really, but I am the wrong person to be calling stupid, thats a good way to get yourself really hurt.
Him- mumbling under his breath, talking to whomever was next to him.
Me- hello?
Him- I'm coming to rob and take everything you have and own.
Me- ok, that's you call.
Him- do you know Jack Sparrow?
Me- Umm, the pirate?
Him- yes, I'm his brother, and I'm going to steal your house on trailer with your woman and daughter.
Me- yeah, you obviously don't know me at all, but yeah, come on.
Me- is there anything else?
Him- What?
Me- do you need something else?
Him- F No, F U, Giggling with his other scammer friends trying to play it off as he slams down the phone!
