Checked the Caller ID this evening and found out that I missed a phone call at 3:05 PM. From a certain Fraud Call, 415-946-5710.

Yes, I also thought that was a strange last name, Call, and an even stranger name, Fraud, but I'm really sorry I missed him(or her?). I'm certain he/she is a lovely person. Probably regarding an invitation for tea and biscuits.

I also wanted to ask what was he/she wearing.

Dude, you're a Nigerian Prince!

Funny. A shipmate yesterday had a call that his phone identified as "likely fraud caller." Guess it's a new thing now with some providers.

Amy?

Rachael from Microsoft with the Indian accent?

Dibble Dabble, you want to buy Viagra???

Jack Stone from Microsoft called, said it was important I immediately get to my computer because it's spreading a very bad virus.

I told Jack I don't understand how that can be, both my wife and I got our virus shots.

He asked me if I was fucking with him. Then said he was calling the police on me and hung up.

Sure hope he was bluffing.

Next time, ask to speak to Amy.

You're welcome.

I have a call blocker on my cell phone and get no less than 3-4 calls per day. If you're not in my contacts file, you don't get through to me.

Inconvenient at times, but it works.

I love the one that come from my cell phone number. Spamming myself so to speak.

They have become brazen enough to intentionally announce themselves as fraudsters by spoofing Caller ID. "Fraud Call"?

I've never seen that before.

They are daring everyone to Fthemselves and they don't care. Sad part is, people are injured every day by these MFers. At times to the tune of thousands of dollars.
