I hate it when the scammers don't even put in the effort to make it an interesting story. How boring!

I don't know, it's simple, elegant, and practical. I particularly like the April Fools Day tie-in. Well Played, says I.

Things like that work only because they can cheaply send a million such emails, all computer generated, no actual work involved. If they get .001% to bite, they get enough (of whatever they are actually after) to make a profit.

Apparently, these scammers have never heard of Brexit. But hey, if it's permitted by "LAW", who am I to argue?

This is unbelievable: Fake Awards

Seriously, if this is really sanctioned by the EPA, someone needs to get fired for allowing it to happen.

All I can say about him is SUCKER. He is the problem, no company name?, no verification of anything. Just another sucker for a scam to take your money.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Sunday, September 10, 2023 - 12:01 am: Edit

You lost me, Eddie. Are you saying that Mr. Butler is the sucker in this story?? How so?

By Jeff Wile (Jswile) on Sunday, September 10, 2023 - 06:32 pm: Edit

Garth, the phrase “Sucker for a Scam to take your money” would seem to cover it.

Far from blaming Mr. Butler, I think Eddie is illustrating that the people, companies and municipalities participating in the scam are getting a benefit from the fake awards by using/claiming credibility of said awards that they in turn use to impress their customers, clients and rate payers.

It is like a self fulfilling prophecy. Something like “See!?! We provide excellent services to our consumers! And we have awards proving it!”

So long as no one questions the integrity of those awards, the chances are most everyone will be fooled.

BANK STATEMENT ALERT
Too many people never check their bank statements closely. A friend of mine just checked his and found that criminals had drained his account. He went to the bank, spent an hour filling out paperwork, and will get the money back in a few days, but "inconvenience" is not an adequate description.

By Douglas Lampert (Dlampert) on Friday, September 15, 2023 - 05:26 pm: Edit

Since I started banking on line I've made it a habit to check all my bank accounts and cards each monday.

I caught a bunch of fraudulent credit card charges that way once. The bank was quite good about crediting me back the money, but I was not favorably impressed by anything else in the process.

(1) In my initial call they did not want to be told about charges that were fraudulent and pending, only about charges that had cleared, they told me to call back with the other charges once they cleared. I asked, "This guy spent the last three nights in the same hotel room, maybe you want to call the police and have them pick him up?"

Nope, still pending, not interested.

It's not actually my money, if they can't be bothered to call the police over obvious and likely easily caught fraud that's their problem.

(2) When they rebated the money, the 1.5% cash back was credited to my account rather than debited, so I netted 3% of the entire fraudulent charge, I spent over an hour on the phone going arround in circles. The third or fourth time the same department that everyone else forwarded me to was forwarding me back out I hung up on them, and wrote the bank an Email telling them that their process sucked, but that they'd convinced me and I'd now feel no guilt as I kept the money (well over a hundred dollars) as payment for my time.

You would think a bank would CARE about money, nope, or at least they don't tell their employees to care.

I'm one of those who does monthly reconciliation between the statement and my ledger; I get miffed if things are even a few cents out of whack. I frankly don't understand why a lot of people fail to do this.

Since I've had a Mutual Fund for 10 years now, I check to see where it stands every morning....
Since it comes up with all my other accounts, I just take a quick look at them also....

Most banks and credit cards will let you set up e-mail alerts for transactions over some specified dollar limit. Set the limit to $1 and you'll almost never miss a fraudulent transaction.

I don't know about the rest of you who are over 65, but I'm getting eight or more phone calls per day wanting to talk to me about medicare supplementary insurance. Having already done that for this year I'm really tired of the constant phone calls. I knwo Steve P gets them every hour or so when I'm with him.

By Jeff Guthridge (Jeff_Guthridge) on Thursday, October 19, 2023 - 03:50 pm: Edit

I’m not on Medicare, and can’t be for more than a decade yet and I got six of them this morning. On a whim, I sat through one to talk to someone. They were in Ireland. Seems that by using an Irish company to make the calls, International telecomm laws trump the Do Not Call registry. Disappointing.

Yeah, get those all day long as well. It's starting to bug the heck out of me. Where is Liam Neeson with his certain set of skills to hunt these parasites down?

I had heard Liam Neeson was dead. I guess his "certain set of skills" could not protect him.

To your Attention:
Sir/Ma,

Be informed that, I institute office as the current foreign affairs Chief Executive Officer of the World Bank Groups, formally President of the World Bank to be precise, I assumed office as the interim foreign affairs CEO of the World Bank Group United States from Jun 2023, and currently the Foreign Affairs Chief Executive Officer, World Bank HEADQUARTERS, United States of America.

On my reviews of the legal outstanding payments, I/we found a legal bulk fund set aside in your name, but the fund is in configured CODED settings that I can’t unfold to know the actual figure as it is pending unclaimed with your email address. BUT I CAN MAKE IT HAPPENED BY TRANSFERRING THE FUND AT THIS TIME AND MOMENT IF I HAVE YOUR PERMIT on both pacts as follows.

Current Phone Scams in the UK

1) Energy Rebates for doing 'X' - "can I arrange an appointment with the local specialist in your area??"

2) Your Internet device is Spamming our Server

3) and the always faithful.....I heard you was an in accident and was injured - are you due compemsation?


Some are pure 'robot calls' - where their system listens for answers to the questions they ask - and so going silent usually terminates the call at their end!

Bit worried though - no one wants to use me to claim funds, as my name is similar to a 'deposit made by the now deceased person X' - all those distant relatives must have now died.
