Woman wants to enter my secured building because she has and ID card on her neck and a clipboard

Be careful what you wish for, these people are crooks. We had one girl fall for it, and they generated a “purchase order” by manipulating a recording of the phone conversation. After they got her to say the model of the copier, they asked if it was correct. She replied, “Yes”. They then took the recording of her saying her name, the “yes”, and made an entirely new recording where it sounded like she placed and order, giving her name, the model of the copier, and when asked if the billing address was correct, yes.

We were able to get out of it, but it was a lot more involved than just not paying for and not returing some toner.

If you get any cold calls for toner, just hang up.

AN.

An, an, an, an, an!

:mad:

It took 22 posts before someone came along and pointed out the obvious.

24

Ah, see, but I know well enough to not give out any information like this, nor to say “yes” to questions like that, because I’m aware of the tricks they use. I’m also the person who does all of the purchasing for the office, and we have very specific places we order from, so I’m never going to be accepting anything from random people over the phone, anyway.

25

I have a reputation to uphold.

26

Don’t get so worked up over tpyos.

27

You’re typo positive?

28

Actully, yes. I am. My blood type is O Positive, as well. When I don’t have alcohol in my blood, the people at The Red Cross love me.

29

Psh, I’m way cooler. Even on my blood tests, I get an A+!

30

Did you have to do a lot of studying?

Nope, I was born this awesome.

32

No, just a hugely different level of security. I’ve been on nuke sites before, and you go through a background check before you even get to the site. Now some which allow tours are an exception, provided you’re in the tour, but folks like me which get to go into the guts of the power plant…no way.

33

With that, you would stick out like a sore thumb…and would get this response.

34

So you’re saying Balrogs don’t have wings, they have. . . clipboards?

35

Cell phones too. Attitudes closely match, but flame whips are considered perk accessories if and only if you make record sales in the previous quarter.

36

Aw, shucks, I only get a B+. :frowning:

37

I get an O-. I hope there’s a make up test.

38

No, they have an aura of flame that **suggests **a clipboard. It isn’t a **literal **clipboard. Jeeze.

39

If you are the person who orders and knows the scam, odds are it won’t work for you. They try to get someone who does ordering but isn’t quite clear on who they order from…

Our calls have gone something like this.

  • This is blah blah from Xerox. We’re calling to tell you that your toner for your blah blah machine is going up next month and want to know if we should get ANOTHER order out to you before the prices increase.*
    Employee agrees thinking they are just restocking from who they normally buy from. Therefore, nothing was sent without authorization.

Exactly. Which is why I hope they try it on me. :smiley:
