    Julie, I work for a Securities (Investment) firm for a large company in Illinois. We have also seen a slight uptick in the number of people draining their investments (IRAs) and life insurance contracts for various schemes. This was very entertaining. Appreciate the work you are doing at the BBB. I subscribed and will continue to watch your vignettes. Cheers.

    I used to get calls from a company who told you that you have won a free cruise for 2 and all they need is the fees and taxes. When I try to say I'll ask my spouse and call them back tomorrow and they will say no, no, you must book it now it won't be available tomorrow. (I'm a male and this was 20 years ago) so I tell the guy I don't have anyone to go with me and he says do you not have a family member or friend that would love to go on a free trip? I says no but hey, would YOU like to go with me? he is quiet for a moment and says what? I said do YOU want to go with me? he says uh...no and hangs up. A week later I get the same call again different guy. I tell him the same thing and when I say do YOU want to go with me? we'll have a great time getting to know one another, he says uhm...actually yeah but this line is monitored so I can't discuss further but I'll call you after I get off. LOL never heard from that company again.
    I'd like to see you add some "next-level drama" to your scam artist calls. When you are doing the IRS scam calls and they tell you they are going to send the police to arrest you in 45 minutes, after a minute or two of talking to them, tell them hold on there is a knock at the door. Come back crying saying the police are HERE! They just came to arrest me. let "the police" person come over and start telling you that you are under arrest and reading you your rights while you try to talk to the caller. Let the "officer" tell them the badge number and read back any case number citing that they have the situation under control and then tell them you have to go you are being arrested. LOL I would do this stuff all day

    Have you ever received calls from unknown numbers? These unknown numbers never leave a voice message. I heard on our local radio stations that scammers call to see if your number is LIVE then they use the number you answer to use as other scamming schemes. I hope this makes sense. According to the radio news, once you answer or even swipe to ignore the call then the scammers know the number is live. They use this information to continue the scams.

    • @BBBWisconsin
      @BBBWisconsin  6 років тому +1

      Hi Terii, yes we've heard that before. In general we try to advise people not to answer any call from any number they don't know, especially unknown numbers. These are usually always scams, and it's best that they don't know your phone number is active.

    I'm impressed that UA-cam recognised the on-hold music as _Why This Kolaveri Di,_ a viral song from a 2011 Tamil movie called "3". No matter how popular it is in India, I'm gonna guess the IRS probably don't use it for on-hold music.

Tell them the theme is "How to Spot Scammers." Then invite them, lol.

It is so amazing to see how desperate and bold these people are in trying to get ones money or information. I find now most calls are now a simple recording when you answer by phone in hope that one will back, had 3 of these just a day ago all within about 25min.

    Got a voice recording claiming to be from Amazon. It advised me that the Xbox Playstation billed to my credit card would be arriving in 48 hours. If it was correct I did not need to do anything. If this is an error, to contact them to stop delivery and verify my order. I called. They asked if I had ordered anything from Amazon? I had , but not a Playstation. (It had arrived already but did not tell him that.) They said the play station was a computer error and if I provided the credit card details, shipment would be stopped and a refund issued on the card and the correct item shipped and billed accordingly.
    Told them I would take delivery of the item and apply for the refund when the item was returned to Amazon. No, Amazon would not authorize a return/refund as it was an electronic item. Ok, I'll give it to the boy next door. No, it is an error and it would be considered as stolen. I paid for it, even in error, how can it be stolen? I had not specifically ordered it. Told him to have me arrested, you scamming off spring from unmarried parents that starts with the letter B and hung up.
    Why can they use a recorded message in perfect English but the person you get can barely be understood or speak it?
