FredwardCall From The FBI(NOT)
So tell me, when exactly did the FBI start serving warrants by telephone? And when did they start hiring agents with East African accents? Maybe I WON'T pay the fine by credit card.

12131About the same time as the IRS calling folks to collect payments over the phone.

I've had at least 3 of those calls, and probably have refused to answer a similar number.

Johnny 3eaglesI got a spam call today and I answered the phone! The number came up from a contact in my contacts list. . . AT&T Customer Service. They told me my account was suspended
. I hung up when they started to give me instructions to follow. I reported the spoofing to the real AT&T Customer Service.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

FredwardI love the Microsoft scam. They always call and talk about how my Windows is jacked up. Only one minor problem with that theory-I run all Macs.

hileTmobile has a useful feature where these scam calls come up as "Scam Likely" on caller ID.

Oz_ShadowThat's fine. They want payment via iTunes cards anyway.

Mars_AttacksOh I DID get a call from the FBI once. The agent was at my house looking for me.
He called me to get my work address so he could visit me there.

WaterburyBobI've received e-mails 4-5 times in the last two weeks from "AT&T Customer Service" telling me I had one hour from the time I opened the e-mail to log-in to the provided link and change my password or my account would be suspended. The grammar wasn't even very good.
Yeah, I'll jump right on that ...

I thought the poor English was a dead giveaway until I received a letter actually from the IRS (confirmed by someone I know that works for IRS) that contained numerous typos.

Probably since cousin BHO decided who was going to run the FBI.

jbcummingsLast one like that I got like that, I told them to come and get some. Must have been convincing because no one’s shown up yet.
