Today's story was this person who could barely speak English was calling from "The Treasury Department in Washington, DC." They knew my name but called me "Mr. (first name)." He hung up when I started hurling epithets.
Number blocked - for all the good it will do.
Matt called from "the cable company" to tell me that they were sending a repairman tomorrow afternoon. I told him we didn't have cable and he said that we had ordered a family filter placed on our line. (Nope, we don't have cable here). Someone has been ordering non-refundable adult movies. (Whats the name on your account?) "Spanking Midgets 3" (LOL. No, who's the account holder?) "I can't release that information." Call terminated as prank or phishing.
I got a call like this also this evening. I asked for his number and name and this was the number he gave me 877-521-2139 when I called it called it back it played some weird music then the call was disconnected. Someone called back at the 973-404-7975 with an accent again and I hung up on him. They wanted into my computer!
