I got two yesterday from Social Security.  Each one was from a different

Hi,

Wow, there are so many out there. Let’s see, the Apple compromise one, the 
student loan forgiveness one even though I haven’t owed on student loans 
since 2015, the student loan repayment options one, and I can’t count how 
many times the IRS has threatened to sue me. Arg. Oh yea, and the one about 
the retiree telling you how to make a bunch of money for very little work. 
Those actually get to be kind of funny, but the ones that hurt are the ones 
where they start building a relationship with you and then want access to 
your bank account. Oi.

RE: Phone Scam

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Actually, that is not entirely true. I have often received a robotic call from 
my credit card company or bank to alert me of some issue, but always during 
such a call I would be identified by name and the request usually is to contact 
my bank or credit card company at my earliest convenience, but it would not ask 
me to call a particular number hence leaving it up to me to call the correct 
number for my Visa, Mastercard or bank.

Hello everyone,
My policy on all robo calls is to ignore them. I do not listen to them at all, 
I hang up and then block the caller on my iPhone.
No legitimate business or government agency uses robotic calls to contact their 
customers. I always assume everything is a scam!
I also never respond to any promotional emails, and I never open any email that 
has an attachment... Even if I know the sender.

I also do not respond to any door to door solicitors.

I assume everyone is a scammer, and, as a result, I hace never been scammed.

I never open an invoice or attachment from a company I haven't expected one 
from.


Sometimes, I get an  email from someone saying that I have a receipt from an

anything.


Also, it helps to have good anti-virus and spyware programs.

Ours was from Molly. I checked that number's area code, which was Ann Arbor,

definitely some kind of scam going on. I did not call the number, just googled 
the area code.

This afternoon I have been receiving calls at 15 minute intervals. The calls 
are a recorded synthasized female voice who calls herself Lisa, and says she is 
from Apple, and that there has been a security breach that affects my iCloud 
account, and of course they want you to verify personal information.

My caller ID rendered a number in the 707 area code.  I don't usually do this, 
but I called the number back, and was connected with the apple Store in Santa 
Rosa CA.  There was a recorded message saying that their phone number is 
apparently being used by scammers who call people and say that they are from 
Apple.  The message also warns callers not to converse with anyone and not to 
share any info.

Re: Phone Scam

[Andy Baracco]

This afternoon I have been receiving calls at 15 minute intervals. The calls 
are a recorded synthasized female voice who calls herself Lisa, and says she 
is from Apple, and that there has been a security breach that affects my 
iCloud account, and of course they want you to verify personal information.


My caller ID rendered a number in the 707 area code.  I don't usually do 
this, but I called the number back, and was connected with the apple Store 
in Santa Rosa CA.  There was a recorded message saying that their phone 
number is apparently being used by scammers who call people and say that 
they are from Apple.  The message also warns callers not to converse with 
anyone and not to share any info.

Re: Phone Scam

[Keith Bierman]

The original description was a bit fuzzy, but it seemed to fit what I found
online.

Someone calls claiming to be from (Microsoft) Tech Support, and says that
you are owed a refund for a support call. Their next step is to get you to
provide your CC info so they can credit you  of course that's not
*quite* what they're going to do ;>

Don't provide personal information to anyone who calls you. Make sure when
you call them, you are using a number you have verified. Make sure they
represent who they claim ... those of us who don't have M$ products can be
pretty certain it's a scam from the start ;> . Folks with windows based
systems should keep track of your support calls and charges ... if you
never made a call, you aren't really going to get a refund (indeed, I'ver
never heard of M$ actually issuing a refund, so that's pretty dubious in
and of itself!)

RE: Phone Scam

[Richard Turner]

I sent out a warning about a scam which I will copy below.  I failed to mention 
in the original message that this was on my landline and we do not pay for 
talking caller ID, which if I had, the list wouldn't have been cluttered with 
all the advice about not answering calls from unknown callers; which is a very 
good idea if you know it is an unknown caller
Here is the text of what I had sent:
Just received a recorded call from a person claiming to be a Kathy Jackson 
wanted to refund our technical support payment from a few months ago and gave a 
supposedly toll free number to call, even repeating the number: 844-640-0874.  
I highly suspect that calling that number would end in a large phone bill or 
worse.
I have reported it to the National Do Not Call Registry.  www.donotcall.gov 
which is of course a United States program.
I just thought a heads up was in order.

Re: Latest phone scam

[Keith Bierman]

Good call. I often just google the callerID number. Sometimes one gets lucky

https://lookup.robokiller.com/p/844-640-0874

was the first hit, an active scam as you suggest. Those of us who don't
have any Microsoft products at home have an easier time guessing it's a
scam ;> Of course, sometimes they claim to be be Apple ;>

Latest phone scam

[Richard Turner]

Just received a recorded call from a person claiming to be a Kathy Jackson 
wanted to refund our technical support payment from a few months ago and gave a 
supposedly toll free number to call, even repeating the number: 844-640-0874.  
I highly suspect that calling that number would end in a large phone bill or 
worse.  We haven’t purchased any support so I know it was a complete scam.
I have reported it to the National Do Not Call Registry.  
www.donotcall.gov which is of course a United States 
program.
I just thought a heads up was in order.



Richard
