Scam (Internet and Otherwise) Omnibus Thread

You call the number to deal with the “mistake” (or confirm the purchase if you actually have Norton/McAfee) and they’ll get your card number, PIN, etc in the process.

Exactly. The scam is that the phone number provided is not legitimate.

A multi-tier contact center

And it comes to an end(maybe).

Hello what is wrong with you dear you didn’t send money why do you keep saying you send money this money wasn’t yet received by the IMF headquarters
Because the receipt you sent isn’t valid please if you aren’t serious kindly let us know so that we can remove you out of the list or provide your phone number better communication, your call phone number

If you think I didn’t send the money, then have your bank contact mine and deal with it that way. You have my bank info.

What are you talking why are you sounding like you are lying listen be clear with me this donation I’m giving is from my heart ok if you know you aren’t serious kindly notify instead of keeping all the issues pending please , kindly provide the debit you got on your email when the money left

Send the paper the bank people give to you because what you sent that wasn’t bank receipt

You’re questioning the veracity of the transaction. You can confirm that with my bank.

Peter Mosse

You didn’t send the money thank you aren’t ready if you are ready you can provide all the information you use because does receipt is invalid ok that is not the paper from the bank I’m contacting the IMF office to remove you form the list you are fucking lying

Don’t accuse me of lying until you contact my bank. You can easily see they’re ligit and they can confirm the transaction.

Peter Mosse

Probably done but I’ve had others come back after a similar ending to try again.

And, at the end, the abuse always wins out, because they could almost taste the money…

Have you ever had one of them come out and say “Well fuck me, ya trolled me good”?

I would take her at her word here.

It’s a gift that doesn’t keep on giving.

Nope.

Shut up dear what you are saying is invalid ok you didn’t send any money ok you fucking said it supposed to reflect yesterday today is Tuesday I’m removing you out of the list please go and look for another person to be lying to ok
Kind regards
Mrs Marian Elizabeth

I should send you my address for you to send the real receipts can you listen to your self don’t contact back

You have no idea how happy your continued rage makes me.

Some years ago, somebody called me up on the phone and said he was from some company with Internet Security in the name (I immediately forgot the exact name) and they needed to sort out some problem with my computer.

I said, “I can’t talk right now, give me your phone number and I’ll call you back.” (I had no intention of doing so; I intended to report the phone number.)

Scammer burst out laughing and hung up.

These days, I expect they’d have a forged phone number handy. But that was a while ago.

This is weird.No idea how a warning got in the message that it’s fake. (This is not how Protonmail marks suspected phishing emails plus the poor English is a giveaway)
I’ve lost count on how many Cristy Davises I’ve had lately.

CAUTION: This email contains reply to different address, usually this email untrusted.

I suppose I should give advance notice that if JRDelirious wins the Lottery y’all can count on that no offer of anything beyond drinks on the house at the next Dopefest will be real :laughing:

OK, new scammer. Typical “We want you to pretend to be an outside seller with access to a rare and valuable substance so we can screw the company” scam. This, however, is gold.

Cetdrobiozine Liquid is a raw material used for the production of animal Antiviral & Retroviral Health Vaccine product like Cetdrobiozine BOTICIDE, NOROMECTIN, Cetdrobiozine 1% W/V SOLUTION, Cetdrobiozine INJECTION, Cetdrobiozine HORSE WORMER FOR HEALTH TREATMENT OF HORSES, LIONS, RHINOS, HIPPOPOTAMUS AND OTHER WILD ANIMALS.

Haven’t seen that before.

Okay, now that’s hilarious. Maybe someone is picking up that a lot of people (myself included) have really begun to hate their fellow humans (in general, but loving the individuals) but are more sympathetic for animals (even though several of the ones listed are apparently utter dicks).

Umm…udder. :wink:

Point to your side!

You could ask them if the vaccine also functions on Pudus … Pudu - Wikipedia

(for no good reason whatsoever)

:+1: :+1: :+1:

I, for one, am not going to attempt any medical treatment on the animal* that has the highest human kill count in Africa. Even if it is Cetdrobiozine Liquid (whatever that is).

Hippos look cool at a long distance, but I would prefer to be attacked by a lioness, or a rhino.

/* ETA: apparently snakes kill more, but that’s quite a broad band of species from cobras to boomslangs.

Googling it only brought up posts on anti-scam/spam sites. It’s nonexistent.

So what you are saying, is in the minds of these spammers, I should be ready to attack a fully grown hippopotamus … with a placebo?

I think that may not go down too well.
