    I had a call once where they said, your son was in a horrible accident and he needs help. My son was in school, not even driving age.. so I played along for a good 10 minutes and then said.. well, tell "fake name" that I love him, and say hi to granny on his way to heaven... the guy got pissed and shocked.. to which I just hung up.

    That Dear Mum message has been going around Australia and a lot of people are falling for it. Only thing I get is a phone call once or twice a week asking about my energy provider and that they can save me $$. Problem is, I live in the Australian Outback and we only have one provider out here. They don't seem to do their homework.

    I got hit with this recently!! I received a text at 12am and was asleep. It said “are you Dr. Lisa?”
    I responded the next day and said “negative, wrong number.” The said “I’m very sorry for bothering you.” I said “no worries.” Finally they said something along the lines of “sometimes fate brings people together. It’s nice to meet you. I would like to continue to get to know you.”
    I just blocked the number after that.

Because you do see it happening where they get arrested but that most likely happens if it's millions of dollars getting stolen. But it should be taken more seriously because dollars globally almost everywhere are of high value. So they'd do anything for a quick buck.

      @gabesmom5615 ปีที่แล้ว

      Let me put it this way. Say you are 70-90yrs old. You are hard of hearing. They all have accents that are hard to understand. Maybe you live alone and have family but they don’t come very often. So if someone calls it’s nice just to talk to someone. Plus they can sound very nice and pretend to be helpful. You really aren’t sure how this dumb machine works but your kids got it so you’d have something to do and maybe do a little banking because you don’t drive anymore. Or the got you this fancy phone that you are having trouble using. Too much new stuff to learn. So if someone calls you and is nice and will help you “ with each and everything “ you are grateful for their “ help”.
