How did the last scam message on your phone try to hook you into giving them your money or to visit their website ?

The last message I received started with,"You have won !"
When I investigated a bit further I found out that I had "won" the right to enter a competition to win a car. Together with millions of other people of course... 🙄

Credit card refinancing...I have no credit cards yet keep getting these calls, also “your warranty on your vehicle has expired & we can renew it”, and then a Veteran’s scammer calls once every month (he used to run a police scam), and the fake Microsoft tech saying I have a virus on my computer. Sometimes I get a notice that I’ve won a free trip to Disney World or a free cruise.

@cherokeepatti Guess we all get that crap!

@SW-User sick of it. They were supposed to do something about robo-calls here in Oklahoma but it hasn’t happened yet.

@cherokeepatti I've heard that too but they still come.

@SW-User I’ve heard lawmakers being interviewed and they say they are getting the same calls & are tired of it too.

@cherokeepatti Then they do nothing! I got one yesterday from a supposed Canadian pharmacy wanting me to but Viagra! You don't want to know what I said back to him but I'm sure you get the idea. 😀

@cherokeepatti Wow. Those damn scammers seem to like you Patti.

@Wraithorn They do it to everyone. I answer the call just to see who the latest asshole is.

@cherokeepatti I got a call a couple of years back trying to sell me an extended warranty on a Dodge PU. I have never owned a Dodge PU>

@Shannon27 they just call up people randomly hoping something clicks...that’s the “beauty” of using robocalls. They can call a huge amount of people in one day and eventually someone will pay out for them.
