Another Scam

[edward]

If anyone gets a call from Microsoft saying your  I P address has been compromised  It is a scam, as Microsoft will never call you. they called me three times in a half hour, just let it ring and don't answer it.

I got a call from Apple and I don't have one.

We have gotten those phone calls over the past couple of years. Funny when you tell them you don't have a computer. They stumble then hang up .

My wife keeps getting calls on her cell phone to buy an Extended Car Warranty.  We are retired & only have one car.  It is registered to me.

We get calls everyday or so for Duct cleaning.  I tell them that we only have geese no ducts.  

If you ask him for a price for each goose he usually hangs up.

I got 2 faxes at work the other day addressed to one guy who retired from there 6 years ago, the other transferred over a year ago. They were the same letter from a lawyer in London who was representing a client  who died and was looking for kin. They both apparently had a relative named James who coincidentally died in a motor accident with their daughter and had an insurance policy worth 8.4 million. If they contacted this lawyer, he would process the paperwork, take 40% for himself, send 40 to them and graciously donate 20% to charity. What a guy.

I love the Microsoft calls.  They always make me smile, since there is not a Microshaft product in my house.  I have been running a pure Linux system for years.  Faster, more stable, and all the new programs are free.

I will only answer emails from Nairobi and Kenya because they are more reliable.

We keep getting calls at the office for our google listing being out of date. I thought I would have fun with them one day and stayed on the line til I talked with a person.  That person asked if I was the owner.  I said no, but if I could talk to the CEO of Google I would be able to pass the call on to the owner of our company as I am sure the CEO of Google would be as free a the owner of our company!.  The guy at the other end of the call had a great laugh and then went on to ask about the owner of the company. i asked again to speak to the CEO of Google, he asked if I would like to speak to his manager.  I said NO just take us off the phone list.  I then hung up.  A short while later we received a call from a "call center number", but by the time it was figured out who had called, they had hung up!. Unfortunately, we are still getting calls.

I ask them for their number so I can call them back and disturb their dinner time. That usually makes the call very short.

I tell them that they can come and clean my "ducks" after I shoot them, this is always followed by a "CLICK"
For the record I am not a hunter and never shot anything in my life other than my big mouth on occasions

I ask the car warranty ones about my 1936 ford coupe with 8567 original miles. They hang up. I also answer with hello scammer about half the time .

Years ago when a newspaper called to see if we wanted the paper, my husband said it wasn't required anymore as our dog was housebroken!!

Scammer (with a middle eastern accent): Your windows is causing an error that is broadcasting over the internet.

Me: Which windows?

Scammer: The windows on your computer.

Me: I don't know about computers. I have windows in the front of the house, the back of the house, and the sides. Which one are connected to the internet? Are they spying on me?

Scammer: . . . Click!

Me: Hello, hello?

Darn - a guy can't have some fun any more.

I usually answer "Fraud Investigations" and then just get a click.
