I think this is needed. Not specifically at this site, but I’m sure everyone is about sick of these types of people trying.
Also hope for those who have been scammed from turning into a scammer themselves.
Its sunny today and I did climb up gorilla ladder and do some work from the roof but it is t why I am so burned up.
Yesterday, and then again today. The scammer calling my mother and then possibly even ringing my phone to tie up the line. It caused a bad argument here, but I was left wondering why she kept talking to this person and even after calling the bank directly and cancelling her card why did she listen to this person again today and give information. I’m glad I coincidentally am around when these things happen but why do people just give in?
I have theories why. I also have some measures to stop these people.
Anyone want to share a story or something you did to recover or full proof yourself next time around?
That is why we build prisons to house fraudsters. 3 immigrants from Africa working at Salvation Army HQ stole a million dollars from the charity only got 3 years. By comparison rob a bank of $40k with a gun you get 4-7 years.
The Canadian Anti Fraud center was opened with 5 million dollars funding I contacted them once and they told me to contact the local RCMP detachment . Gee whiz I already knew that.
Way back in the 1980’s a Socred MLA here in BC defrauded the govt of $1,034 paid a $1,000 fine so made a $34 profit. Wonder if that would be considered capital gains? Not much of a deterrence.
I had this week 3 scam attempts by phone in 48 hours.
I’ll go through the steps I took to deal with excessive scam calls 15+ minimum per day.
I’ll also go through the steps the scammers took upping their game.
First was setting up a scam likely caller ID through my cell provider app.
Problem is sometimes somebody’s legit number is wrongfully reported as a scam number.
I took a call for a legit doctor’s appointment that displayed as scam likely. Not trying to trace leaks but they oddly seem to call at the same time a call is expected with days and weeks of silence without calls.
Insurance too coincidentally.
