More Scammers


Back in Kansas after helping my parents get downsized. More on that to follow later, when I have some time.

While I was with my parents, prepping them for their move, I was shocked by the number of scam phone calls they received. These were after I blocked the assholes from the original set of scams. In the interest of payback on scammers everywhere, I did my best to have a bit of fun with the ones who called.

For example, we received a call from someone claiming to be with the Social Security Administration (actually, two different people over two days), advising that my parents' SS numbers were being used fraudulently and assets could be seized. So, when I asked them to confirm they were with SS, I followed with rapid fire questions.

When was the Social Security Administration founded??? Under what president? Tell me!!!

The woman went on to receive 'What are you wearing? Who's your daddy???'

A demanded the guy tell me if he sucked dick and that he sounded like a major cum chugger.

Another call was from an IT services company who said they were going out of business and were authorized to refund the $500 fee they charged (there was no service). All I had to do was log into an account with personal information and something else that I clipped with another peppering of questions about billing history, last payment, and whether the guy sucked dick or just fucked goats in the country he lived in.

Surprisingly, none of the people stayed on the line long.

But these are more examples of scams that the elderly could easily fall for. My mother was actually engaging the Social Security dick sucker, before I grabbed the phone from her.

These scams are terrible, but I do try to remember that some of them are "probably" poor people trying to earn a living to feed family,, so I try not to be rude.
We have a Telephone Preference Service over here, where you can register your number (landline) and it' stops spam calls.. the odd one filters through but if they are persistent you can report them.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. The callers know they're lying to those on the other end of the phone. Short of someone holding your family hostage, you'll never convince me this behavior's acceptable. My guess is they get paid handsomely on a commission basis. Something to investigate...

So do you think that a poor person has the right to steal from another person???

I get many scam calls. My answering machine reveals them so I don't bother to pick up and waste time with them.
Some claim there are suspicious activities in accounts I do not have.
Several times I received messages from "Social Security" that there has been suspicious use of my SSAN at the Texas border. They then say I can't use my number until I talk to them about it. Damn, I can't use my number.
