BZ770 2 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I had one of them Scam calls yesterday on my cell phone, saying that I had won $4000 from the US Govt. I stopped him and said Hey I voted for Obama and my check's in the mail. Then I told him that he should be looking for his check, and he kept trying to talk to me about the Pitch, but I wouldn't let up about Obama and him sending me that money. I finally heard a click but it was too funny. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/56116-scam-phone-calls-i-got-a-good-laugh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTiger 4,120 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I got one a few weeks ago on my cell phone. Funny thing, they asked for somebody else when they called me. When I told them they had the wrong number they repeated the number back to me. I said, yes that's the number you dialed but I'm not the person you are looking for. She said, it doesn't matter, the number is what we are looking for. The woman was "allegedly" from Utah, and said that my number won some kind of sweepstakes. I interrupted her right then, and said: Tell you what I'd like you to do. Grab your little list that has my number on it, and mark completely through it. pretend you never called me, pretend that number doesn't exist, and NEVER call me again. I do not feel like getting ripped off today. BYE....

BZ770 2 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 There a scam in Jamaica by them calling you and leaving a call back number for some money you won. If you call back its like 886 instead of 1 800 or 1 866 it's like a calling a 900 number a $10 a min. The other scam is if you wire the money for a finders fee then they'll wire you the lump some of money, but you never get it.
