Now they are calling claiming to be from the local Sheriffs Dept claiming you have an unpaid Ticket and a warrant for your arrest unless you pay them immediately. They want your Credit Card numbers or Bank account Numbers. I had one called me years ago about a scam that threatened to arrest me for an unpaid Tax bill. I told him the Food is good at Jail so I will be waiting!! PICK ME UP!!! He hung up.

Cussed out the last Mumbai mumbler that called me said he was with fraud protection. I asked what my account number was he could not give me the whole number.

I have told several to be a man and not a coward. Said if you want to steal from me come to the house. No one showed up yet.

Somebody ran up $2600 with 5 purchases for suit cases, leather pants and purses, 3 weeks ago. Credit card made it all good but it was a experience I could have done without.
It was a card I use online and local stores and I made no gas purchases with it so it wasn't a card reader at a pump.
If they hadn't got greedy and only got $50 a month, I might not have seen it as quick as I did.

are you kidding me , the sheriff didn't mention anything to me about it when I saw him last week. kripes you think you know a guy and he can't even tell you there is a warrant out for you.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Today, I got 6 phone calls that showed up as "Potential Spam". I get around that many every day now. The calls that say potential spam leave messages saying things like they are from social security, disability, covid relief, inflation or the IRS. I am okay with passing a law to make surgical drone strikes on scammers mandatory.

I messaged a guy last Friday who had a nice white 64 GTO for sale on the San Francisco Craigslist .

Price was too good for the condition of the car in the pics , but I proceeded ( with caution ) anyway

He wanted my personal email to start with ........ 2nd red flag


Today I saw the same pics of the car on a legit site for alot more money

It is not hard to scam greedy people.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I just got a message saying she was "Debra" from Publishers Clearinghouse letting me know I had won the second prize. I'm thinking of calling back and saying if it's not First Prize forget about it!

When publishers Clearing House told me I won I asked how. I never entered. He insisted I had won that I must have forgotten I entered. So I asked who he was trying to cal. Didn't even know my name. Told him he had the wrong number. He was still talking when I hung up.

If I don't recognize the number I don't answer it and block that number. I was born at night but not last night.

Last one I talked to that said was from sheriff's office coming to arrest me. I told him make sure shows me his badge and identified him self. Because I will shoot you right between the eyes don't want get wrong guy. He hung up pretty quick then.
I had the sheriff's personal cellphone number in my phone. I think he would have give me a heads up.
I really think the phone providers are making money off them phone callers some how. Otherwise wise they would work harder to shut them down. Don't think their giving me any free air time that I know of..
I'm also good with drone strike on what ever mud hut their calling from.

These scammers should be hung. They pray on old people, they were all ways calling my father in law. We need bail money for your grandson in jail, were going to shut your power off, your insurance is past due.

If it hadn't been for the lady at the local bank they would've gotten my step dad for 1,000 bucks. They called him said they needed $1000 for past medical bills, they wanted 5 gift cards for a total of the thousand, the guy stayed on the phone with him while he went to the bank to get the money then he was supposed to go to the store and buy the gift cards thank goodness the lady at the bank got it stopped. They told him if he didn't pay they would put a lean on his house and sell it for their bill
If these scammers ever get caught they should be executed

I agree. Put him and his cell phone in a Bathtub of water and throw in the Toaster and see how well his phone works.
