Some ass clown used my business phone number with someone's else credit card to order stuff from cableals..I get a call from the person that got their card compromise and they starting in on me asking why I stole his wife's credit card number...told him I have no idea what he's talking about and tried to explain thats hows scammers work when they steal someone's information, I told him since cabela gave him this information, he should also been given the actual shipping address because its wasn't my address, they just used my phone number, he preceeds to tell him he's turning me into authoritiies...I said whatever, they ain't gonna find anything. Never heard a word from him again.
Just a few months ago, my mother receives a call, they tell her computer has a virus and they will fix it for her..mind you, my mom is very illerate when it comes to computers, doesn't even know to go look at files and etc....she said the caller was hard to understand, put they talk her thru on how to let them in through remote access, they installed some bs software which I caught and delete...I also told her to call her credit card company up and cancel the payment, thank god it was a low dollar amount. her laptop kinda acts little funny sometimes and I"m working on it...she just uses it to go on FB, check her email and buy stuff. Told her to never ever let a caller tell you have a computer problem, cuz they don't even know what you have and they are phising for personal information Tell you what I was pretty ticked off with her because I have told her before to just hang up on these asshats...
It just amazes me this d*heads have the nerve to sit there and call number after number after number trying to snag old people that don't have a clue whats happening and get their money.
