The government sends mail to seniors at least once a year. Why not include a simple, easy-to-understand brochure warning seniors about these scammers?

It really amazes me that this is not done.

Technical support, car warranty, credit card rates, it’s always an Indian on the other end of these scam calls.
I press 1 and when they pick up, I whistle as loud as I can, which is pretty loud.

(you can hear me on Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters and James Cotton live at the Tower Theater)

I always have fun when those scumbags call me with a live Apu on the line calling himself Dave.

I’ll usually let them go for a little bit and then call them a lowlife untouchable and tell them to go back to pimping their mother on the street corner.

I also sometimes answer in my best Indian accent, Hallo, my name is Raj, I am calling to inform you that we have detected a virus on your computer. You can hear them choking in confusion.

I am 70, have worked in IT for years and still am teaching college courses full time. They believe that all American seniors are computer illiterate.

The next one I want to try is answer in a low whisper, “The job is done, but there is blood everywhere. I need help cleaning up”. Then hang up.

I have received a bunch of such messages, and I always ignore all of them.

My solution to internet fraud is ridiculously simple and cheap. My method never slows down my computers from resource hungry virus & malware prevention programs. My method has protected me since 1995 on internet.

The computer I am using right now is my internet surfing computer. I never access any web-site on this computer where I keep money such as my bank and my broker. I have permanently disabled Windows-10 Defender on this computer making it run lightening fast.

I use a completely separate laptop to access my broker and bank. I never surf on that computer. Never log into my email. And I keep Windows Defender operational just for extra layer of protection, although it is probably not needed. It is funny, I have never received popup Ads or any viruses or ransomware on that computer in 20+ years.

Both above computers I bought cheap on eBay for less than $60. I formatted hard drives and did a clean install of Windows.

And since used computers are so damn cheap, I have a 3rd computer which I use for paying utility bills and credit card bills and emails.

Finally I ignore all threatening messages/popups on my surfing computer. When it gets affected by viruses, I format the hard drive and re-install operating system again.

May I be so bold as to urge they join the legal action described below?
This video was initially uploaded to YouTube on 10/3 and, as of now, has just under 1.5 MILLION VIEWS. Since then, it’s ALSO been uploaded to, among others, both BITCHUTE & BRIGHTEON over a dozen times each.
Here are representative links to BITCHUTE & BRIGHTEON uploads. (How does one say “SCREW YOUTUBE” in German.)

If you need a reason WHY YOU should share this, a comment below the YouTube version may help, to wit:
“Quarantine is when you restrict the movement of sick people.
Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people.
Stupidity is when you can’t tell the difference.”

Do not be dismayed at the small number of views on BRIGHTEON & BITCHUTE. Perhaps we can help by sharing those links and draw folks away from the LEFTIST NAZIS AT YOUTUBE.
Here are some representative links:
https://www.brighteon.com/4445f474-84e3-4e4f-b24f-07f11e091994
https://www.brighteon.com/f55a94e7-d4dd-44cc-9cfd-efce6998bd23
CAUTION: ZUCKERBERG’S NAZI’S WILL NOT ALLOW POSTING BRIGHTEON LINKS ON FARCEBOOK. And TWITTER is also playing the censorship game, for now mainly with the growing BIDEN scandal.
USE ONE OF THE BITCHUTE LINKS BELOW ON FB:

https://www.bitchute.com/video/J2W1iSLu64iG/
(BITCHUTE is based in the UK and has several versions with foreign language subtitles.)
LET’S HELP MAKE THIS GO VIRAL WORLDWIDE!!

“...temporary restraining order issued by the court follows the filing of a complaint by the United States, which seeks both preliminary and permanent injunctions..” More useless legal nonsense. Arrest and execute the perp! THAT will stop this nonsense!
