Title: Scambags
Post by: Snaggletiger on August 12, 2021, 12:23:43 PM
Or scumbags...either way.  I had a former client come in this morning, who wanted me to take a look at a letter and "See if we can get some money."  The guy is 93.  He hands me this letter and it took about 3 seconds to recognize it was a scam.  It said a computer had randomly picked out his name and address from a pool of 40,000 people and he was entitled to $4.5 million. Golly gee, how great is that.  It had these official looking stamps all over it.  "Government approved"  "Certified as valid".  I started cracking up reading it.

You have chosen to as the winner of the special lottery for a unique recipient of the winnings.....

Ultimately, at the bottom of the letter was the kicker, asking him to provide his banking info so they could wire the money from Madrid, Spain to his account.  I told the guy, "You've got two choices here, take it to the District Attorney's office to report this scam, or throw it in the trash.  I suggest you do both."  I explained to him what was going on and they were just trying to drain his bank account.  Okay, here's the problem.

His response was, "The phone number on this letter has 14 numbers and my phone won't let me connect with them."

Mr. Smith, do NOT call these people.  Do NOT respond.

"What if I opened up another account with only a hundred or so in it?  You think if I gave them that...."

Mr. Smith, listen to me.  This is a scam.  Do NOT respond to it.  Throw this in the trash.

"I got the same letter last year, but I let the time expire for me to respond."

Mr. Smith, THIS IS A SCAM.  THEY ARE TRYING TO RIP YOU OFF.  DO NOT RESPOND!!!!!

"So you don't think we can get any money out of them?"

Folks, there are some sorry, sorry, soooorrrry ass people in this world.  And there are so many vulnerable people as well.  Don't know if I told you what happened to my dad a few weeks ago.  Scammers are now copying voices of friends and loved ones, and calling you to rip you off.  Good thing he had sense enough to see through it.
