"If you do not immediately return this call we will start illegal proceedings against you."

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Message on my phone this morning.

1. Better hire a criminal to fight this.

[House of Roberts]

2. I'm getting text messages saying I have to update my Facebook profile.

I have a very locked down profile I haven't used in years, but it's connected to a defunct Comcast email I can't access, to request a password, because I have forgotten the old one.
Anyway, I never gave Facebook my phone number, so I can't imagine how they know it. I delete the messages as soon as I get them.

3. They keep calling me to extend coverage on my unregistered '87 Wrangler.

It's got a salvage title even.

[katmondoo]

4. I started answering these calls saying "Welcome to (name of city) crematorium, do you have the death

certificate signed and where is the pick up destination. Please call when you are ready. Never get an answer and it does quiet the calls for a while.

[Aristus]

5. Oh, good. I was terrified that the proceedings were going to be legal.

[lark]

6. Scammers are out in force.

Every week we get the following bogus calls - sometimes 2-3x per week.n This has been happening for months.
Our social security number has been compromised and I could go to jail if I don't call immediately to confirm
Our Microsoft account (we only have a Mac) has been compromised and have to call immediately
Our timeshare votes are due now - (we don't own a timeshare and never did).

[True Dough]

7. "Scammers are out in force."

Many of them can be found in leadership positions within the Republican party.

[lark]

8. I think of them as Russian Repug traitors and criminals.

Scamming is just the beginning of their treachery to this country and its people.

Edit - fixed typo

[Bayard]

9. I keep getting the long email

About them having compromising porn, and that they have hacked my email. Both will be released publicly if I don't pay up immediately.

[csziggy]

13. And they want to be paid in Bitcoin or something similar?

I get those but ignore them. First one I got I called the tech support for the company that hosts my website since it was for one of the emails associated with it. The tech was surprised - the ones he gets are for a completely different amount. He assured me that my accounts have not been hacked and everything was OK.

Since then, I have gotten about half a dozen. Now I just block the domain name for the email and ignore it.

[Leith]

10. I got one yesterday to restructure my student loan debt

I don't have student loan debt, never have had. I went to college back when it was affordable and/or your employer would pay.

I hate these scam calls.

[The Figment]

11. The CBD salespersons are trying to get this ole hippie

To buy what I consider this generations snake oil,not that CBD's do have their place they are not a cure for "Everything"

[Doreen]

12. Yup, got that one several times.

Can you hear me rolling my eyes? I like the one telling me that my Social Security number has been suspended.

[Iggo]

14. I'm getting emails saying Apple's going to delete my account if I don't log in in the next 24 hours.

And providing me a handy link to do just that.

[VarryOn]

15. My dad keeps getting these calls...

I've told him repeatedluy-DO NOT answer phone numbers you dont know! But if his damn phone rings, he answers. And he gets crap like this.

I get at least one voicemail day from callers like this...DELETE!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. All this shit comes from the basement of the White House.

Trump Telemarketing, Inc.......

[zanana1]

18. Are you getting the Microsoft one?

I get that one at least twice a day.

[love_katz]

19. Hahaha!

Thank you for the laugh! A pox on scam callers! I give thanks for NoMoRobo on my landline. And I refuse to answer calls on my cell phone that don't show the name of the caller. My phone has voicemail set up, so if I received an unidentified call that I need to return I can do that. Otherwise, I block calls from unidentified numbers. Take that, scam callers!
