Throwing Fraud Out The Window
(My husband and I are relaxing at home one evening on the couch when the phone rings for our rarely-utilized land line. My husband answers.)
Husband: “Hello?… Oh, Microsoft, REALLY?… Wow, a hack on my PC. That’s TERRIBLE.”
(It’s obviously a scam and we both know it. I roll my eyes, but he keeps talking and looking up something on his smartphone.)
Husband: “Yes, I’m at my PC right now; just tell me what to do… Huh? What was that? I can’t hear you! Can you call me back on my cell phone? The reception might be better… Great, it’s [number]. I’ll wait!”
(He hangs up and goes back to watching TV like nothing happened.)
Me: “What number was that?”
Husband: “The local FBI Fraud Hotline.”
