I've received 6 phone calls in two days. I have not answered a single one. I did however, send a text warning them of legal action should they continue to contact me.
I just received a call from a man who sounded Indian like all you are saying. Telling me that I am 1 of 4 people who are qualified for free money from the Us government bc I pay my taxes or pay my phone bill! All he had was my phone number and email so he said to me he has to confirm all my other info before he can send me the money so I played along just for the hell of it!!! When asked for my address I gave him a bogus one and he said "ok yes that is what I have here!" Then my birthday I gave him another bogus date and again he said " great that's what I have here!" So at the very end he wanted my debit card number and when I questioned him on that he said, "sir, you have my word! The money's will be transferred in 14 days!" That's when I went off on him told him I was going to the FBI with this recording and blah blah blah!! He suddenly started speaking a foreign language which sounded mid eastern and I hung up!!! I knew from the first few seconds of the call it was a scam so I figured Id just [***] with him and string him along until the end and it really pissed him off!!!
