Warning - new phone scam. Are you there?

I had a Microsoft guy from India call me like 3 days in a row,he was so bad at it that I felt bad for him and wished him luck.
And I fell for the other scam today and said "Yes"

 

Thats why my wife and I do absolutely no online anything. I have never typed my social security number, credit card number or anything like that into a computer ever. There is a funny song someone created on YouTube called "the internet is for porn". All I use it for is entertainment and communication. My kids roll their eyes at the "old man scared of technology". But its all I know how to do to minimize the threat from hackers and scams. I know I'm not totally in the clear...but I just don't trust the web. I've even refused to apply for jobs, in the past when I was looking, because they only took applications online. Just not going to put my info out there like that any more than I have to. We have no automatic bill pay options either for the same reasons.

 

Got one of those calls from a Florida number yesterday.

 

I got a call from "Robert" at the Canada Revenue Agency. Source of the call was South Carolina. He said I owed taxes and was facing jail time for it and I could pay with gift cards. Told him to go ahead and call the cops because he was obviously full of ####.

 

I have a real hatred for scammers, I have google voice, call record, and have recorded a few scammers, He claimed to be from the tech department of windows and detected I had a computer problem, funny thing is I haven't had a windows computer in years And I felt very uncomfortable with windows monitoring my computer anyways, lol

 

Hello Mr. xxxxxx? Nope he's not here. When do expect him home? Well, in about 6 years. 6 years? Yup, he should be out of prison by then, but maybe earlier on good behavior. Click......

 

Nairobi is not a country.

 

That's not the point! No need to dissect the comment. Point was the scammer will contact you claiming to represent a king or some other high party official whom his fleeing his country for a host of reasons and want you to provide a bank account for them to shield their money......for a cut of course....

Geeze....lol

 

Lol, sorry I missed your point.

 

My credit is locked from inquiries. And Equifax has It stated to call my phone number when opening a new account.

Nobody has called me.
