Another Scam !

QVCkitty1 — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 15:40:32 GMT

I hav already received two calls who claimed to be from Apple saying there was an iCloud security breach, bla, blah blah. I googled this just to check, and sure enough it is a phishing scam. This has been quit a week for me, apparently I owe the IRS, have some unknown debt outstanding, and now this. I'm one unlucky kitty, LOL.

The tide as to turn at some point and it must be getting closer with things right now being worse each day. Maybe you start today by buying on lottery ticket each day to be ready when the turn comes. Hang in there. At least all your kitchen appliances are still working.

Hahahaha, gee you've got some real financial issues, haven't you? LOL I keep getting phone calls saying someone will help repay my student loans. Let's see now, I've been out of school for 40 years, so I'm hoping I already repaid them!

The calls just never stop!

I can loan you some money. I won a huge lottery and I'm waiting for them to deposit it into my account any day now. They wanted all sorts of banking info to make the direct deposit.

LOL

If these calls are coming in on your cell, there is a great app called HIYA that actually blocks these calls. I've only had it a couple of weeks and I love it. If I don't recognize a number, I just let it go to the answering machine. The IRS calls crack me up with some of the things they say.

One of the worst new ones is the one that asks "Can you hear me?" if you answer yes, they have the recording of your voice saying "Yes" and can use it on voice automated systems to set up new accounts;

Sorry Bri, that Nigerian prince is already sending that $$$ to my bank account, since I already sent him the $5,000 for 'processing'.

But I'll be happy to share it with you when it arrives, LOL!

You might have to send them another $5000 just so they can process your refund. Go ahead. It will be okay...
