Oh, that’s awful.
The way medicare outfits are setup, promotes fraud. They call you and want you to verify that you are the person they called. We cant trust anyone on the phone, so our health suffers.
I don’t answer the phone or the door. I don’t trust anyone unless I know them or who they are. Noone. No exceptions. Too much at stake now in this digital device age.
Why a vocoder? Recordings are of a woman's voice with a Midwest intonation. Perfect for seniors with hearing problems, the pitch range is perfect.
How to foil? After the first "Hello" or question, challenge them: my favorite is to ask "what is three plus five". Use your own challenge, and be creative. Real humans will react; the button pushers usually don't have an answer pre-recorded.
> Real business is conducted through the US mail. <
That’s why scammers will usually tell you to send them cash via UPS or FedEx.
And what cash would that be? Money that the victims owe the IRS. But of course the IRS is really the scammer’s outfit.
We need people like Jason Statham in the movie “Beekeeper”
With the amount I’ll receive for iretirement funds I can cash it in a parking meter.
So the feebs have known about this scam for months,
why is it still in operation?
Yes. Nigeria is deeply saddened.
Hang up the phone, do not open e mail.
I have noticed these days that very fews call come through with the name of the caller. Most of the calls I get these days show the number and the city/state, never a name.
OMG!
My sister’s father in law knows a woman who was widowed and later met a guy online. She sold her house, sent the $ to him so he could buy a house for the two of them. You know what happened. Out a million $ for sending it to someone she never met in person. She lost everything and had to get a job.
I never answer my phone. I don’t forward things because scammers can walk them back, looking for suckers who forward things without verifying whether it is true. IOW people who follow directions mindlessly.
Ask for the square root of -1.
If they don’t give you the correct answer hang up immediately.
Lol.
Pardon my lecture but ….
it’s not the phone that shows “the number” rather it’s the phone that shows whatever the caller wants it to show. it’s called “spoofing” and people have to realize caller ID is at best a hopeful guess and is probably correct only if an honest caller is contacting you.
Scammers, not so much. the fake caller ID that’s says your bank’s name is being supplied by the scammer team’s outbound phone switch which is placing hundreds or thousands of calls every hour hoping some fish will bite. all they need is one victim out of every thousand placed calls.
DO NOT BELIEVE CALLER ID.
Today’s Barbary Coast predators are international scamming gangs.
President Jefferson took care of the Barbary Coast pirates preying on US ships.
Today’s foreign national gangs tacitly assisted by their governments are no different than those pirates 🏴☠️ In 1800, they roamed the seas from Tripoli, Today we have pirates roaming the digital “sea”
I can’t believe no one’s talking about this in these terms. these scamming gangs are no different than the Houtis.
DID I CALL YOU?
NO??
THEN WHY AM I TALKING TO YOU??
CLICK...
In the coming war we need to nuke them out of existence.
i never answer the phone to unknow number or a number i dont know, all suspect email goes into the spam folder
I've also been getting upwards of $200K a week in unsecured loan offers, they usually tell me I've been preapproved, but there's just a couple of details they need to confirm. Not happening, people...lol.
OH the really funny email scam is the porn scam, I got two of those
if you send us 2k in bit coin we will not expose you
i just delete them
