Scam ?
-
it's everywhere. Seems they never get prosecuted. Years ago, the Father-in-law was getting up there, and we were seeing a lot of high charges for phone calls to overseas. From Jamaica. But the company wiped those charges out, and we put a lock on international calls on his phone. Computer systems have left so much open to so much fraud.
we know someone who works for a major bank - the job, remote from home - is to monitor all credit card purchases, and red flag/disallow some that are suspicious. It works.

It helps too to protect yourself in case someone steals your identity and starts all kinds of havoc with your credit and more. It's almost impossible to fight and fix these kinds of problems. I would seriously consider a service that pays in the event of big expensive problems.
Unfortunately it's the world ? we live in now.

My wife had her identity stolen (SS#) and it was used to open a Cap One on line account, transfer in $480 from our regular Cap One and then send it to a bank in Chicago where it was cashed. It should have been picked up by Cap One since they used an old address no longer in their system to open that one line account. We go reimbursed but dropped Cap One due to incompetent security that should have caught the old address use and got Lifelock for both of us since we were told they actually got both our SS #s, obviously from Cap One. It seemed to me in was an insider job or their security was far worse than a banking system that size should be.

Just got a telephone call which told me my electricity was going to be shut off within the hour. To speak to a representative of Ohio Edison press 1 for more information press 2 I pressed to and got a fellow that sounded like you might have been retarded. I asked him what address was this service? He gave me two completely bogus addresses and then hung up on me. According to Google I guess this is a thing these days.

More and more my phone is identifying possible scam or possible spam on numbers I see coming in. I just let the answering machine take the call. 9 out of 10 leave no message. That's a good thing.

If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer. I get shit loads of voice mail from spammers which I just delete by pushing 7.

This one has a kind of creepy potential vibe going on.

We have our phone through our cable For $2.50/month we got that Robo killer and it has wiped out 99.9% of our garbage calls ?.
BEST thing we ever did, highly recommend it.

? It pops up every once in awhile on Facebook. I will post a screenshot when the more offensive ad shows up which states plainly something about age not mattering and then a slew of pictures of young beautiful women all of which assumedly looking forward to a relationship with old geezers with smartphones.

I wonder if I could get that on my Verizon line and if it works on text messages. I get spam texts everyday. Yes I can block them yes I can list them as spam but you know the drill these guys can change numbers 10 times a day.
