Scam calls

Post by RonH »

Just for information ...

Yesterday I received a call from 'PayPal' . It was a recording stating that I had a debt in my account of x amount which I could accept or reject by dialing digit 1 or 2. I simply hung up on the 'caller' guessing that is was hoax ... a correct decision.

Hoax calls are becoming a serious problem these days ... if you don't recognise the caller, hang up.

The day before yesterday an email landed in the Inbox of my wife's email account. The subject line and the body text were a fair stab at fooling us that it was a genuine message from our ISP provider but the email address it came from began 'donaldduck...'

I recently received an email message from Christopher Wray, director of the FBI.
Now that an investigation had cleared me of any suspicions of criminal behavior, I was eligible for financial compensation...
Best wishes,
