    Scammers are everywhere

    I had this robocall earlier today.

    Caller: "This is a scam alert from AT&T. Your account has been hacked. Please enter the last four digits of your social security number."

    Me: Click

    Another instance today.

    My wife has been wanting a teacup yorkie and I thought I'd surprise her for Valentines Day. I was on a local people to people FB page and a lady had a 12 week old she was wanting to re-home. I sent her a message and she responded by asking where I was located. When I responded she said she had been relocated to Georgia and she would be happy to ship the puppy to me. All I had to do was send money for shipping and the re-homing fee.

    My response: No thank you. I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

    Dang thieves.

        I also got a robo call from ATT that played the company three note intro then said my account had been suspended and I needed to update current info. Well my response was click. Be aware folks! I bet ATT had a breach while they were selling our information!

          I got three different robo calls yesterday from three different numbers purporting to be from an LEO organization. I didn't give them time to go through their spiel, just hung up.

            We've had our own number call us. Didn't answer. Some people we know have answered when their own number called and it was the enter you last 4 digits scam. Special place in hell for these people

                    We should figure out how to share our blocked caller lists with each other. Mine is getting Uuuge.

                          You guys should check out The Hoax Hotel on YouTube. I happened upon one of his videos and couldn't stop listening.

                            You forgot......I called myself.

                            No, actually they left a message stating the same as everyone else. Wanting me to verify SS# on account.
