I'd highly recommend his KZfaq channel, _ESPECIALLY_ to any older people who aren't all that tech savvy and might be more susceptible to these kinds of scams! He provides such an invaluable service and provides a source of knowledge about these scammers. Watching him string along and expose scammers is incredibly satisfying and something you could watch for hours!

I played along with a scam call once and I was asked to log onto my computer etc. The scammer asked if I was logged in and I said yes, he then gave me a sequence of keys to press so he could gain access to my ‘PC” one of which was the Windows Key. I played along by telling him I could not find the Windows Key and he told me it was situated to the bottom left of my Keyboard. I proceeded to shuffle around a bit while acting confused and again told him I could not find it. This too and frowning went on for about 10 mins and eventually he asked if I could confirm my computer brand to which I replied “I’m on my iPad” Click, End of Call 😂😂😂😂😂

@direravendenial8947 4 ай бұрын

Another company that avoids calling people is Microsoft, in fact, they never call, and they have stated numerous times anyone who calls you purporting to be from them is likely a scammer/fraudster posing as them. If you do need to contact them, they would expect you to call them or contact them another way legitimately. This rule applies to most of the large tech firms, they will NEVER call you ever. They have the means and resources to allow you to contact them, and usually, you do not even have to pay for it.

I think one of the best things to ask to find out if something is a scam is: where are you located? Then “what time is it in ”? A genuine company will answer both questions in seconds. A scammer will have to look up the time question because they aren’t where they say they are.

A big thing Jim forgot to mention is that even if your caller ID shows up as your bank calling, it doesnt mean it IS your bank. Its extremely easy to make it appear that any number is calling you. So many old people think that because the number on their called ID is the same as the one on the back of their bank card that its legit, but that is not proof it is. Instead hang up and call them back yourself to be sure you get the bank.
