Kinda like an email I got from a cousin. Not really her, but was supposed to be from her. Said that she and her family were in Germany and got mugged. All of their money, luggage, phones, etc. were taken. She wanted to know if I was in a position to send her $1500 so they could get back to the states. I called their home. She answered the phone. Said her email had been hacked. I spent several days 'playing' these scammers. Had a lot of fun!

NICE ONE!!! I like messing with telemarketers when they keep calling...

Thinking about sending along the contact info for some eco-terrorist and wack-o-nut organizations for the poor guy to get in touch with...

I had a problem once when trying to get my 'alternative' email account set up. I had an account previously, but it had been long enough that I had forgot both the password and the user name. So I started a new account. I used my usual user name and was told that I could not use that name because it was already taken. I spotted a link for help with a phone number. Dumb me! I didn't notice that it was 'shaded', meaning it was an ad site.
Anyway, I called the number. A lady answered and told me she was with Microsoft. She asked me what kind of a problem I was having. After telling her about the problem, she asked me to let her into my computer--??!! Since she said she was with Microsoft, I allowed her access. In about 3 or 4 minutes, she announced that the problems were solved and I was good to go.
Then she said that I owed her $99.99! I told her that I was not aware that I would be charged for the service. She said that her company didn't do these services for free. I asked her if she had not told me that she worked for Microsoft. She said that her company 'did'/performed work for Microsoft. I asked her if she was a Microsoft employee and she said no and asked me how I would like to pay the $99.99. I told her to get the h*ll off my 'f**king' phone and hung up. After thinking about a few minutes, I called the number again. I told the lady that answered about what had happened. I told her if I was in any way billed/charged for any services from her company that I would sue the h*ll out of them. I never heard of any bill against me. I immediately 'wiped' my computer and reloaded the operating system.
I have had 3 different times that I received calls from someone telling me that my computer was infected with a virus. I asked how they knew about it. They said that they were 'with Microsoft' and that the 'main server' showed that my computer was infected. By now, I was certain this was a scam. I told the man that I would simply 'wipe' my computer and reload the operating system. He told me that since these 'hackers' had my info, they would just re-infect my computer. He said that only his company could guarantee that I would be free of these hackers. I asked him what I needed to do about it. He said that for $499 they would go into my computer and clear the virus. I 'led' him on for about 20 more minutes before he realized that I was just 'pulling his chain'.
It's a lot of fun to lead someone 'on' when you know they are trying to scam you out of your money!

Sometimes these scam artist like a lil break and entertainment. The goal is to keep you talking and usually they have you talk about yourself. Its gaining trust to sell you something you didnt know you need. Its a numbers game. So many out of a 100 calls fall for it. Take charity calls, if you knew how many pennys on the dollar actually went to the charitys you would be upset. Lately its been over seas folks interupting things. Im to unerstand its pay back from Putin and all the sanctions.
