Just a heads-up to everyone...

I just got an email supposedly from WHO.. (World Health Organization) purporting to be how to survive the coronavirus...

BEWARE!!!

The email is not about a virus. It IS a virus. Do not open it.

Good reason to use the Letters Of Marque clause in the Constitution.

I regularly get email from the WHO, not. That should be the first indication something is wrong. Second is a virus scan.

I would consider a “legitimate” email from WHO to be a virus if not a fraud.

If you get one from Keith Moon or John Entwistle, it’s a scam.

I’m waiting for that phone scam call purportedly from the government wanting your bank details so they can “direct deposit the $1000 to your account”

They are probably on it as we speak.

The IRS already has that information and they don’t need my permission to put money into it.

I can imagine the scams out there now. I heard the cops in Spain are not allowing people to leave their homes. This may sound crazy, but what if this is all a huge con job by the globalists, that there is no virus, that this is all BS in an attempt to slowly gain control of the people using the police and the military who start making mass arrests of those they deem a threat on the basis of “public health” and before you know it, we are living under a totalitarian commie global state. It’s a crazy thought, but on the other hand something doesn’t smell right here, they just seem to be going a tad overboard with all this and Trump today saying he is going to give out money? What? Since when does he listen to Mutt Romney??

I only answer calls on my cell phone from contacts I have listed and it tells me their name not the ones with just the number.

I just got a call an hour ago that said a name so I answered it. Turns out it was some kind of scam call, sounded Chinese/English accent

When you accidentally pick up a scam call, just have fun with it. They start trying to sell you on a scam, start trying to sell them on one right back. Tell them you would love to hear about their offer, but first, you have to tell them about this amazing time-share deal down in Florida that they can’t afford not to invest in!

Or just say “Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior?” That usually makes them hang up pretty quick.

One just called with an American name so I "pressed 1" and began talking to him calling him "Doug"

Doug had an Indian accent.

I acted all serious and carefully tried to explain that I did not have an Amazon Prime account (the scam).

I was pleasant and helpful until he eventually told me to "Go to hell!"

It was fun.

I think next time I’ll put on a fake homo accent and start hitting on them.

“Do you have a Grindr account, Doug?”
