If there is no name on my phone when I get calls or texts they are not expected so they don't get answered.

This^^^

Another new scam is the bad guys using AI to recreate a loved one’s voice. I’ve heard of it happening 4-5 times in the last couple months. You get a call from your kid or wife saying they are in jail or whatever and need a couple hundred bucks to get out. The lady I listened to sad she couldn’t tell the difference and swore it was her son. Your voice can be replicated from something as short as your voicemail message. Pretty crazy.

Solution is simple. Put everyone’s phone in a fairiday bag or leave all phones inside the house and go outside. Your family then decides on a code word and the problem is solved.

Lol....this thread reminds me of this video. Quick 1:41 but worth the chuckles.

That was funny, Cragar. I kept waiting for her to tell him that she is an officer. Maybe she did after the video ended.

That was a good , informative article.

Thanks for posting.

I do my best acting with scammers on the line. Sometimes I'm a redneck fending off tweakers with my ar, sometimes I'm a little ol lady that's very hard of hearing. The best is when I answer with an east indian accent and so does the caller. I always respond with " brotha, I have not talked to you in ages"

My advice. Don’t interact with scammers. Another one last couple of weeks. Email alert from your bank. Low cash in your account. You need to transfer money.

Once you click on this scam and enter your log in and password. You can kiss your money good bye.

Scammers are scum of the earth. It is a billion dollar industry targeting seniors. And growing!!!!!
