My wife answered an Unknown Caller yesterday. She almost never does, but this time she did. After listening for a time she ended the call.
“She (the
caller) said I have a delivery scheduled on Friday and I was to press 1 to
confirm the order.” She called the number.
“Who is
this? … You called me and said I have a delivery on Friday. … No, I will not
press a number. … You are a thief. I doubt you own the company you’re calling
from, but by working for them, you are a thief. … No, I will not give you any
information. You have my phone number.” She hung up.
“She said
her name was Agent Amber and she was with the Inspector General’s office. What
kind of inspector general makes home deliveries?”
Those calls
must be successful a percentage of times in order for them to continue.
Thieving
bastards.
Yeah. At !east some of the people who answer these BS calls fall for the BS. Otherwise they'd find a different con to try.
ReplyDeleteMost likely there is a cutoff percentage, but enough people must fall for the lies or decided to get something for nothing and go along.
