[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3122348, member: 23"] Don’t know about y’all, but I get phone calls almost daily trying different scams. “This is the IRS and there is a warrant for your arrest” This is (insert name or cause) and we are asking for a donation. Hang up calls with a number, but no ID. (Bait call to make YOU call back) My computer is sending error messages to Microsoft and they want to guide me through a procedure to fix it. Asking if I want to buy or renew an extended warranty for a car I haven’t owned in years. Today I got a new one. It was a robo-call. The recording told me that this was a call from my cell phone provider (they named the correct one) and said that my service is now suspended (the same phone I received the call on) and if I wanted to re-connect service I had to press 1 to speak to a representative. Like the others, I hung up and blocked the number. [/QUOTE]
