In Case Of Ignorance, Your Services Will Be Completely Suspended Within 24 Hours According To The Terms Defined In Our Contracts

[Pat Riot]

I must get between 25-50 Spam emails a day. This all started a year ago when a former employer’s system was hacked. After that it was a medical insurance hack and recently the National Public Data breech. 
Three and a half years ago “hacking” was getting too rampant in my opinion. It’s what happens when scum stay home under lockdown and have nothing better to do. I froze my credit with all three credit reporting agencies. I haven’t had a problem since. 
But, I do get lots of lovely spam emails by scammers now.

 

Yahoo has closed my account at least 50 times.

 

My Costco membership is constantly expiring yet every 3 days I win all kinds of neat prizes. 

Netflix has closed my account numerous times, but they are so nice.  They allow me to continue watching.

 

The Peacock channel is very angry with me. I am skeered.

 

Some casino was nice enough to deposit $13,000 into my account with them. 
 

Apparently my manhood is question, but some really nice folks want to enhance it for me. 
 

Elon Musk is going to pay my electric bills from now on. 
 

McAfee software is reeeeally desperate to clean my computer. 
 

I am partners with a bunch of folks that need my money so we can make millions. 
 

I have a timeshare out there somewhere that I knew nothing about. It’s an amazing timeshare. It randomly pops up in various places all over the country. I’m afraid to schedule a vacation because the timeshare moves around so fast it may not be where I think it should be when I get there. 
 

Yep, since these scumbag hackers got into some accounts I am involved in I have made a bunch of new acquaintances and some very nice people that are just so giving and thoughtful. 
 

I am a lucky man.

For vicarious revenge, watch The Beekeeper starring Jason Statham.  He punishes a whole phishing organization like we all dream of.  😉

I got the "Grandfather, I need $$$" call and blew it, when I said OOOOKKKAAAYYY" and they hung up

 

[Colorado Coffinmaker]

 

By now, I have a warehouse full of packages that can't be delivered because of incomplete addresses.  I wonder what treasures I am missing out on.  

[Eyesa Horg]

I keep checking the State Treasury list of lost and found monies, hoping some of those lost things will turn up!

Great movie.. thanks for mentioning it.

The Amazon account that I don’t have has been frozen more times than I can count.

 

My email account has been suspended repeatedly, but I still get messages that it’s being suspended again along with all my other emails.

 

I’ve repeatedly won cordless tool packages to the point that I no longer can afford the warehouse it takes to store ‘em all.

 

My local Costco has awarded me a wonderful gift package for being a loyal customer, even though I have never been in the place!

 

How could I be so lucky??

The scammers that pester me are really out of date.  I'm still getting warranty expiration notices on my 2004 Mazda that I got rid of 6 years ago.

I got one of those because my grandson was in jail and needed bail.  I asked what had Danny done now?  

 

The guy told me he been busted for a drug violation.

 

Where?

 

Beaumont, Texas.

 

Can I talk to him?  

 

Sorry, he's being processed.

 

Would it interest you to know that I only have one grandson, his name is NOT Danny, he's eleven years old, and he's raiding my refrigerator right this moment, and I think you're a worthless, son of.........  CLICK.

[Blackwater 53393]

Got a call. “I understand that you’re wanting to sell the property at, (my home address) and I would like to make an offer.”

 

“No ! Not interested!!”

 

”Would you be interested in selling any other property?”

 

”Sure!! I’d like to sell the Empire State Building!”

 

CLICK!!!

My wife took a call a couple of days ago for Grandfather (My Legal Name) that I never use.  My wife replied "Don't I wish!  No, he doesn't want to talk to you."  Neither of our kids have managed to provide any grandchildren so far, though they are promised.  I wonder if it was a kid in jail scam.

[Subdeacon Joe]

I'm feeling left out.  I get one every couple of days. And I do everything wrong.   I use FB, I browse a lot of stores online,  I sometimes answer phone calls from unknown numbers.   So, according to some,  every account I have should be hacked,  my phone should be constantly ringing,  and my email should have hundreds of spamming pieces every hour.

I still occasionally get emails or pamphlets from alleged brokers/realtors to "call us to get an offer on your property at [address]... I sold that house and acreage in 2001. I wonder if I can sell it again...

I get calls a couple time a week wanting to buy my property. I tell them "Sure! You obviously have my name and address, send me a check for a million dollars, and when it clears, I'll let you know when I'll be out of here."

Have to watch that. Could be a real bill from an account that some scammer/ID thief opened in your name and used your address for billing.

[Blackwater 53393]

I check my accounts several times a day!  We’ve caught a few attempts before they cleared!!  Our banker lady watches it too!!

That’s because they already figured out you ain’t got no money. If you’re lucky some of these scammers might start sending you money!

99% of these go into my Gmail Spam folder when I go to the folder the get deleted.  The ones I smell rotten phish have an invoice attached for an expensive antivirus subscription.  I never download the attached invoice.  Report it & delete.  I have a PayPal account that I don't use.  It check to see if their is a PayPal transfer from my checking account.  I definitely don't call the customer service number on the invoice.

My eldest grandson has been very successful at scamming cyber & phone scammers into burning lots of time.

Twice the phone rang and when I looked at the Caller ID it had my name and phone number listed.  The scammers were trying to scam me with my own phone number.  I've been talking to myself for years and don't need a telephone to help me do it!

[Sedalia Dave]

Well sometimes they are not a scam.  My manager grew up locally and owns a lot of acreage a couple towns over. Almost all of it was part of his family's farm. Over the years he has bought out the other family members and amassed several hundreds of acres that he farms in addition to holding a full time engineering job.

Because the metroplex is getting too close, he has sold a lot of land to big home builders and using the proceeds to buy more farm land land a lot further away that is well isolated from urban encroachment.  He sold a couple hundred acres of land that has state highway frontage to a big builder. The land will eventually have several hundred houses on it. Across the highway he has a smaller acreage that is perfect for being rezoned for commercial use. Already has all the necessary utilities with lots of highway frontage in an excellent location.

 

Well he kept getting offers from a law firm for the plot of land but the offer was below market value for the amount of acreage, so he was round filing the letters After the third or fourth letter he called them to get them to either raise the price or go away.  Turns out they did not want the entire lot but only a few acres. The firm represented a company that operates child day cares and they want just enough of the land to build a new day care to service the two huge housing developments going in across the road.

 

The deal should close soon and he will be getting an obscene amount of money because it happens to be the only land available that is also in the perfect location.

Me too.  Plus if the Calling Parties phone number isn’t in my phone’s contact list their call goes straight to voice mail.

 

I do get emails with offers to help me with my college debt or threatening me if I don’t pay them.  I’ve never had a college debt.

I do that as well. Often the call just shows a number. Lately there’s been a few calls that will have a name, like; FINTECH PBX, SCH CULVER CITY, TECHNICAL SUPPO, or other things that make no sense, but they make you wonder what it could be. 
I also get calls from NRA call center contractors. I know it’s the NRA because I call back to ID the number then hang up. 
I did send the NRA an email and asked them to figure out a way to have any NRA representative calling appear the same on the caller ID. They wrote back and said that would not be possible blah, blah, blah.

I wrote back and said “If some dirtbag in India can call me and make it appear to be a call from the FBI in Tennessee you all should be able to figure it out.”

I never got a response.

As of a few weeks ago, the NRA is showing in caller ID on my phone. I'm on Verizon, caller ID completeness and accuracy is network dependent. Plus caller ID is forge-able.

My phone says "N-RA" and they do not gain my good will by calling at mealtimes!  I will, of course, continue to support them.

I had Verizon but now with AT&T (another hacked business that had info stolen)

The only time caller ID shows “NRA” is if someone calls from the headquarters bldg. 

 

Doesn’t matter though. No ID, No answer, period.

When I upgraded my NRA membership to life I started getting calls 3 or 4 times a week right a meal time.  After a couple weeks I told the nice lady that if the NRA didn't stop calling me I was going to cut up my life membership card and send it back. I explained that they could email and mail all they wanted to but the phone calls had to STOP.  Haven't received a call from the NRA in over 10 years.  

 

Still get a ton of email and snail mail but no more phone calls.

 

TSRA is just a bad about calling so I used the number to a phone at an unmanned site at work.  Only thing calling that phone will disturb are wasps and mosquitos.

Thanks. 
What is TSRA?

If I knew for sure it was the NRA I would probably answer and probably tell them the same thing you did. Every time I send them money, especially if I send it to the NRA, the ILA and the PVF within a short time I get no calls. If I send money to the ILA and not the PVF & NRA branches of the NRA those two badger me. That’s why I am pretty sure the majority of my toll free calls received, the 800, 877, 866 prefixes, are NRA. They calm down after a couple of weeks. 
I do know that a few years ago they would call in the evening, when most folks are having dinner. I just kept my ringer off as idiots from work would also call thinking I loved my job so much that I wanted to spend time talking with them. I didn’t. 
I would find out about the calls later or in the morning. 
 

I truly do not miss work. That’s for sure.
