Scammer Alert, Be on the Look Out Peeps!!
WoW..for the first time, i've actually got a personal call to my cell from someone claiming they work for the government.
Here's how it started, conversation for conversation. It didnt exactly go as I worded it, but somewhat close to it.
Around 7:41pm, my cell phone rings, I pick up and say Hello...
Silence for 1 sec, I say Hello again
Silence for another sec, I continue to say hello.
still silence, I was just about to hang up and this gentleman comes on the phone!
After he came on,
Him - Can you hear me? (btw my caller id'd this call from phone# (1-099-706-xxxx) no clue where it's location is at)
Me - I asked whats this was regarding...and I immediatly I say, Sorry im not intrested!!!!!!! (Knowing already it was probably a sales call.
Him - I'm not trying to sell you anything!! The gonvernment's giving you a free loan ($5000.00 value) because you've been paying your taxes for the past 5 years and you've had no criminal records indicated.
Me - Intresting...OK..tell me more (on top of my head..I felt like sticking my arm thru the phone and knocking him out senseless)
Him - In order to process your order alot faster, I would need your bank account information for a direct deposit into your account tomorrow morning @ 11am. The money will be wired directly into you account as of 11AM tomorrow.
Me - What the Phuck...are you crazie...Im not gonna give you my damn personal account!!!!!!
Him - It's a free $5000.00 loan from the government, that wouldnt peak you're intrest?
Me - Yah, but with me giving you personal information? (I hesitated for about 3 sec's, thinking what I can do to this guy) Ok OK....you know what, I do need the money!! So I said ok, lets do it, I want to be 5k richer!!!! but before I do it, is there a contact # or info that you could reach you at?
Him - Ok, lets get this money wired into your account tomorrow. Whats your information?
Me - We'll whats your information? I need to get ahold of someone before we can go on.
Him - I understand that and Im totally aware of your situation. However, being that I am employed by the government I can not reveal government information to the public. If you'd want to pass up this opportunity then we should end our conversation here. This is a once shot opportunity the government is giving. Take advantage of it!!!!
Me - ok...alright..here it is...xxx -xxx -xxx--xxxxxxx...
Him - Thank you and it was a pleasure giving you this opportunity!
I gave him all totally fake number that I dont think even exsits...But if it did..im sorry to whoever's account it is.
Is there anything I could to actually track down these damn scammers. (I'm not also trying to flame any race) but the person sounded like he was middle eastern man. I called the number that was on my caller id and some weird message came up ...asking me to enter my pin number and other little crap!!
Heads up for something too good to be true!

go to www.whitepages.com and reverse the phone number...see what that does...you can also call the authorities and give them the number that called you.
