Am I the only one who tires of being the target of a scam a day?
Honest to Gawd, sometimes it does feel like some new scam comes in over the transom almost every day.
How the Hell do these people get enough information about you to concoct a convincing-sounding pitch? The current effort (now consigned to the trash) comes from someone who knows who my (now long former ) mortgage lender was. We’re told I must hurry and call this number and blah blah blah blah….
Well. If I hadn’t paid off said loan some time back, I very probably would have fallen for that one.
This is the major reason I have call-blocking on my phone: the blitz of crooked hustles. I do try to filter the incoming emails, but you can’t strain out every one of them.
And yeah…some of them are amazingly persuasive.
