Forum Support Tommy T. Posted January 19, 2023 Forum Support Posted January 19, 2023 L just forwarded this to me this morning: Sadly a new scam: Just now my friend  received a call from 912250041117 asking him  to press 1 if he had vaccinated.  He  pressed 1. Immediately the phone was blocked 🚫 and his phone has been hacked. So be careful when you get similar calls. Put this in your group chat. Let's all continue to be careful out there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support Tommy T. Posted January 19, 2023 Author Forum Support Posted January 19, 2023 There was another phone scam in USA last year that was a bit scary.... Apparently, a robot or person would call someone and then immediately ask, "Can you hear me?" Of course, many unsuspecting people would say, "Yes." Then, the system would generate questions intended to sell whatever they were pushing or cheat... Every time a question was asked, the already-recorded answer was, "yes." Very devious... So I have coached L and her family to be super careful when answering the phone and to not just automatically say yes when asked about whether the caller can be heard...

I normally answer the phone with " War Office, do you want a fight? " My partner hides herself in shame. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"City Morgue, you stab'em we slab'em. was down the same road. I used to answer the phone "hale's homosexual bar, hale speaking" until both of my kids pointed out the days of that being acceptable have past....... I weep for the future of this world...... 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
