About a week ago I answered a post about a catastrophic shortage of caregivers with info about a government incentive program I used in the 1960's. That information was used in a scam call yesterday for where to pay my student loan. Whoever read it was not thorough in understanding, but it reminded me to be careful of who might read what I write. Has anyone else had repercussions?
Thus, I wouldn't worry. It's all coincidental. Now I need to call back on that student loan I don't have, after I order that back and knee brace I don't need, after I get new window for the house, once I clear up my social security number, only when I lower my interest rate on my credit card, but first must hide because the IRS has a warrant for my arrest.
And good for your husband! Maybe next time he can put the phone to the dog's mouth and find some way to encourage the dog to bark.
The robocalls are the really frustrating ones as they're not placed by real people, and you have to dial 1 (or whatever) to get someone real to play games with.
The record was 15 minutes and the mom said it was some of the happiest money she spent!
also if you have concerns on AC giving out info, do contact the administrators. The site does get monitored by them. I’ve found them to be responsive.
At work yesterday when I answered the phone, a recording went into a spiel about how my social security number had been compromised... the recording didn't ask for anyone in the company.
Also, there are robo callers that when one answers, the robo will ask if "______ is available" and when I said "yes, one moment", the software heard "yes" and went into its spiel before I could transfer the call to da boss. Here I thought it was a breathing person on the other end of the phone.
Even at home I found less robo calls when I answer using the company name as the robo calls were expecting me to just say "hello". It confused the software :)
I laid a complaint with Telus earlier this year. They were calling to sell me upgraded service and the person on the other end of the phone would not take "NO" for an answer. Yes, I did hang up too.
