Scamming Is A Family Business
(I work from home in the IT field, but I am not on shift yet. If I am to be called into work, procedure is to call my cell phone as I always have that with me, even if I am away from home. The land-line is used ONLY when I am actually on shift. My land-line phone rings…)
Me: “Hello?”
(Only background noise on the line for a few seconds.)
Person: “Can you hear me?”
Me: “I can hear you.”
Person: “Hello, I am the senior IT technician for your computer. There is a problem with it that we need to fix immediately.”
Me: “Is your mother proud that you are scamming people?”
Person: “Yes, she is.”
Me: “That explains a lot.” *hangs up*
