I have had all sorts of scams tried on me but this one today made me write this post. My cellphone rang and after 5 seconds a lady comes on the phone and tells me her name and whom she works for. First of all, I should have known better to wait those 5 seconds for her to come on the line. That little wait most often precedes the beginning of the scam.
I asked the lady again to tell me her company which she repeats, then asked her what she needs and she starts into this spill about a problem with my computer. Now how can she tell if I have a problem with my computer? Her intent was for me to get in front of my screen and help her create a problem in my computer. I would have played along but I had better things to do with my time.
Lady, I may be a hillbilly from Tennessee but I did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday.
