RE: A Warning About Telephone Tech Support Scams And How They Tried To Target My Parents

in #psychology8 years ago

I've had these calls I let then rattle on then say I don't understand can you repeat the instructions, I get a lot of fun out out it its there money there wasting

Sort:  

True, I did that a few times myself.

I remember there being an online community dedicated to scam-baiting, though they apparently are getting pretty dark, nearly racist in their baitings, so the rest of the internet's kind of shunned them too.

I regularly get phone calls from Argentina, that just hang up near-immediately, even if I accidentally answer them.

Clearly trying to get me to call back, so probably a "pay-per-minute" number or something.

They can be dangerous if you don't know what there up to, we need to make people away as @cryptfiend is doing as tell as many older people what to do

Ditto! If I have the time, I'll lead them in a merry chase. If I don't have much time, I confront them directly. Pissed off one dude so much he switched his spoof number to MY home number. Not bright, bozo, you just outed yourself as a scam.

There idiots and so easily caught out
