Discover the scam
Some days the phone will ring and I am sure that at the other end there is someone trying to pass a scam. However it takes time. You have to ask the right questions or they will just hang up on you. Today I had one of those normal calls from the telephone company. Asked me to confirm the date of delivery for a new router. Did I mention that this is for a system I do not use? Anyhow the usual response from the other end is to hang up the phone and move on to another call. But, today I got a rookie and she took me one step further. In order to deliver my new router they would need to make some adjustments to my computer. And there it was. A trident rude scam where they get into my control panel and open my computer up for remote access. Of course I did not allow that. But I’ve learned that calling them a scammer really seems to make them angry so that was what I did. Your mileage may vary. Unfortunately the majority of the scam calls that arrive here are already of a known measure. I look forward to some of that crypto traffic that seems to be taking over the world. I mean having me trade something that I do not already have seems like a fun way to get rich quick. I have seen a crypto instant teller but it was a long time ago and far away. I must check with the kids and see whether that possibility still exists. Get me some of that block chain. I guess I have a rather dull life. Trying to bait scammers. I actually miss the good old days when I had a job that paid money. A little. You can only stay with the same employer for so long before even their tricks become familiar ones. Sort of like keeping an old dog around too long.
