- Why did you answer a call from a number you didn't recognize in the first place?
- The person at extension -five- is on the phone.
- Unless you're a business, why would you call back a number you don't recognize, for a person who you don't recognize, or who doesn't leave a message for a specific person by name, or for a business you don't recognize or you've never dealt with? These telecriminal scumbags base their business model...

- St Jude hospital. Shriners hospital and children's miracle network are really getting aggressive for donations. Yesterday, I couldn't go to the store in peace. In my face talking loudly and fast demanding money. I'm going have to file something against them. I don't owe them squat. I never used...

- Fakes pretend to be a celebrity
- Since I find "social media" platforms to be a waste of my time, my personal answer is "No". If those texts include a phone number, you can place it in the search box on every page of this site and it will take you to the proper number thread to post information about the text. You may find that...
- "USSP Shipping" using a new phone # to scam
- Scam is alive and well. Same old tired spiel they've been using for years. Need to verify that you failed to receive two shipments that they "sent" us.

- 3/25/25 my husband received an email from Pay Pal stating there was a large charge on his account. He doesn't have an account. I opened one several years ago.

- Toll violation pending from the Democratic Republic of Congo
- That doesn't make any sense to construct a major highway with the intention of scamming people over the phone. The scammers would have to be among the dumbest in the world to spend more than they would ever collect from scamming. Besides, why would they call North American phone numbers and display...
- A Bit of History
- I received a similar "Nigerien Prince" scam *through the US Mail* yesterday. It originated in Canada. (I highlighted US Mail, because doing so means that they've committed a Federal offense, which puts them a cut above the typical texting or email scam, in potential penalties.) Same old garbage: It...

- $5,000 a year. So if they were open and paying for this insurance for 8 years it would have cost as much as the scam. It's like buying insurance for blackjack. It really helps if you have blackjack and so does the dealer. But in all the rest of the cases its just a rip-off.
- "You Owe The Turnpike Money" Scam Text Messages
- Nimrod got me wondering why no one has sent the exterminator after fake E-ZPass domains. SunPass has a five-state footprint and a couple toes in Texas, while its HQ is right in Ashley Moody's backyard, which made the cleanup easier if locale matters. E-ZPass has presence in forty percent of the...
- Payday Loan Scam
- Fall behind on a credit card bill, then you'll be inundated with ads for them. I took out some short-term, low-interest loans one year, to shift income to the next year, rather than pulling from a 401k that year, for tax reasons. (It's all about cash flow, and 2% loans did the trick.) Apparently,...
- Scammers are swiping billions from Americans every year.
- Not surprising since the over 65 group is only about 18% of the population. I don't think it's a matter of paranoia, however. In the case of the elderly and the "young and busy" it may simply be a matter of convenience. It's easier to adopt a simple strategy (don't answer unknown callers) than to...
