This is Microsoft and we have detected suspuscious activity from one of your comptuers... (All of which were off at the time as I'm using Chromebooks no Widders).

FBI just made a Big Bust on a 1.7 Billion dollar Medicare Scam on this.

I’ve received multiple calls from someone calling me about the back brace I ordered. No, I didn’t order a back brace.

When somebody calls me to tell me I've won the Nigerian lottery or something I just swallow a whole bunch of air until my stomach is full, then belch real loud into the phone and hang up.

I’m cynical and doubtful but some of the scams are good.

I get invoices from Apple for stuff bought on my Apple store account that I didn’t order with links to click.

I checked my credit card attached to the account, no charges.

I log into my Apple account, no charges.

Very realistic invoice.

I get the same thing every once in a while,blocked it as SPAM every time but they still send another one..

Once I got a pop up saying I won new Samsung phone just for using Chrome browser,just need to send 2$ s&h and give em my CC number
LOL

My favorite one, when I still have a land line was when I got a call telling me that I just won the lottery.

I would reply, you can have it and then slam the phone as hard as I can on the receiver.

They are doing the same with your Verizon account;
I've received 2 calls telling me that my Verizon account is "suspended"
and the call looked like it was coming from the authentic Verizon number;

I called Verizon to make them aware of the scam - not sure what the scammers
are trying to get.

I got the same call today, one day after a real e-mail telling me of my upcoming automatic payment.

My fav are the phone calls telling me I have a warrant for my arrest. i slip into confused old man mode for as long as I can tie them up.

I have gotten them from "E-bay" "Pay-Pal" and many others.
My favorite was the one from Bank of America
(They said they were having some issues accessing my account for a security check... I'm sure they were.. I'd closed the account like 5 years earlier).

You need to reply to the Nigerian Prince
