I supposedly have won the lottery by email so many times, I could probably afford to buy the Keck Observatory (let alone an EQR-6). I modestly turned it all down so as not to pay the “administrative fee” of $1,000 before collecting my millions LOL.
Had a lovely gentleman from border force ring me about a suspicious package arriving from overseas, I told him not to tell anyone as im going to come pick it up and asked him were he was .. poor bugger didn't know what to say and hung up .
Amazon kindly robo-calls me to let me know when my credit card has been used to buy an iPhone. Apparently I have purchased somewhere between 8 and 10 of them over recent weeks.
I keep getting insurance fraud scams - phone call originates from Uk or sometimes specifically says Scotland. Sometimes a Perth WA number, but ALWAYS the con-artist has a pommy accent (not indian or african - go figure!). They'll mumble something, about their name and company, which I ask to repeat as they always mumble it. Then they start about "This is in relation to the accident you had recently". Each time I answer back "But that's concluded - I killed the guy"...and then I start a psychological melt down if they persist past that (they usually hang up).
I actually had one guy apologise, tell me it was a mistake and said they wouldn't be calling again.

I've had that one to ....after they ramble on a bit, I then ask for the rego number of my car that was involved in an accident....they then try to change the subject and distract you .. so I ask again ....what's the rego number etc, and the make of the car that I had the accident .... ( all the while I'm smirking on my end ) ...doo .doo.doo.doo ..oh I was enjoying this, he hung up....
All the calls I get are recordings telling me they are the tax office or amazon etc. I've never listened to the end to find out what they say. How come you guys get actual people calling you?
In the last week I've been getting a lot of SMS messages informing me of tracking for deliveries I am not expecting - with a suspicious link.
Now in the last 24 hours I've been receiving voice calls telling me my internet has been hacked, and they want to know how many devices I have connected.
My response is "I don't have the internet". It completely throws them off their script.
I very rarely get these calls. I am disappointed. I love stringing them along. The last one I got was in relation to shares and he vouched for a 100% return. He said I only needed to invest a few hundred dollars and pay him via Paypal after I gave him my login details (which I most certainly did not). I had him on the phone for about 15 minutes discussing the returns. In the end, I told him that if he was so sure, why didn't he invest the money for me, when we made the profit, that I get the profit and he gets to keep his initial investment. It's a sure thing but he didn't want to put his own money in, just mine.....naturally.
A girl rang me said her name and tried to start her sell..I said " Oh ( her name) its so nice that you called, I so enjoyed our chat at the party..did you get home ok?"
