If you mouse over or click on the sending email, it will be obvious that it's a fake email / spam.

Every day my spam mail has emails saying my Netflix, Amazon and Hulu accounts are expiring. 

 

Oh!  And I also won some thing with either Lowe's or Ace Hardware.  I don't have accounts with any of them.

My Grandson called me the other day. He didn't know his first name. It was a scam.

I've read that whenever your "grandson" calls again, a good question to ask is what is your mother's middle name or what is your hamster's name.

I sometimes have fun at the expense of these scammers.

 

Me:  Hello

 

Scam:  Grandma?

 

Me:  Slurp, Is that you?  (In my little old lady voice)  (Slurp is the name I use - sometimes I'm Mrs. Slurp or Miss Slurp) 

 

Scam:  (because the name Slurp is unusual the scammer is somewhat taken aback)  Yes (said after a brief hesitation)

 

Me:  Slurp, how you been?  You don't call, you don't write! 

 

Scam:  Ah. 

 

Me:  Slurp, there one thing that bothers me.  I never had any children so the possibility of you being my grandson is very remote.  Why don't you call your real grandmother and rob her. 

 

I then let loose with a string of explitivies that wouild curl Slurp's hair. 

 

Fun times.

Yeah ... never miss an opportunity to scold your "grandson" and lecture him about his bad manners.  LOL
