Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for July 20, 2020

Is that scam still going on?

I used to get those things all the time with my old dial-up ISP. But since switching to a cable ISP, I get at most one a year. But truth be told (as if truth has anything to do with these scams), I miss them for their entertainment value. Some could be quite imaginative.

Two scams in one day is too much even for Ziggy .

More than likely she’s right!

Don’t do it! The bish still hasn’t sent me my money.

Ya figure by now with all the suckers they scammed one of them might be the real thing.

The last time John from “Windows Technical Support” called, with his thick Indian/Pakistani accent, I told him I didn’t want any new windows. Then I asked if they could replace the caulking and repaint my windows a different color. Silence… CLICK.

I DO!!!

That.. and many more. One would think that after being hung up on a dozen times they are not likely to succeed on the thirteenth time. I know its a machine that mindlessly dials but still the spammers are ruining their own reputation.

Another African oligarch trying to sneak the ill gotten gains out of the country. Report it to the FBI & Interpol.

The ones I like are the ones that start in the middle of the spiel & tell you of the dire consequences if you don’t call the number they leave with the “case” number. The worst were after my husband passed away the calls looking for the party who was handling the estate. When I did the search on who was calling, from the comments, they were claiming to be from collection agencies about unpaid debts. I never called, but I was the one who handled the finances & knew there were no debts- paid or unpaid.

Oh yeah, got a SPAM email from a Nigerian Bank last week trying to give me money!
