Had a good one yesterday, an ARGOS refund. All I needed was email address and password and my credit card validation number, not the credit card. It accepted a fictitious email and password. Then the sneaky bit, it sent me to the genuine Argos site where I had to log in again.

It will catch someone. I think their website was something like Cedartoys.com

[Capetonian]

I've got two lots of scammers on the go now. Even as an agnostic/atheist, I get very pissed off when these lowlife bottom feeding filth use the name of God/Christ whatever in their scams.

One is below, the other is a fake loan shark.

[Groundgripper]

Just received this advice ( shall I be a Sir or a Madam ? )

Last time anyone addressed me as that was Rolls-Royce in 1971 telling me that I'd been made redundant and would leave their employ six weeks before I got married.

Marriage is still going strong, though.

Bit behind the drag curve at the moment hence my late reply.
I too had one of these apart from the name of the sender which was a woman's name. Word for word it was identical and it seems it has been all over the NE of Scotland and was brought to the attention of Grampian Police who have publicised it in the local press.
I immediately binned it and changed the password they had quoted. It had a really nasty tone to it and I could imagine it frightening a good few vulnerable folk. It even gave handy tips for buying Bitcoin! Barstewards!

[probes]

Mine read a cool million Probes. He's scammed you out of 50K.

See? I'm already a 50K short!
NO, no honour amongst thieving scumbags.


(sry, the 'text fadein' is SO tempting!) How did you find it, Alison?

[Slasher]

Probes dearest...

1. Open Full Editor & Preview.
2. Type in a couple of words.
3. Select all those words
4. Press a strange button on the console.
5. Select Preview
6. See what it does.
7. Do the same using the next button after deleting the tags.
8. When finished press Done
9. Use back arrow to ensure your words aren't posted.

This is how I discovered how to do fancy schmancy stuff like this! Real clever huh?

[OFSO]

Seem to have been far more calls from "Microsoft" wanting to fix my computer in the last few days. I was standing at my front door paying the tree-fellers on Monday when the phone rang; the Mem' answered it. Her language was such that the two massive chainsaw wielders went white with fear. I had to explain she was merely dealing with a spam call. ("No you name isn't Peter, and you are not calling from Microsoft, you're a bloody ***** and you are calling from ****** ****** and you can take your ******* and shove it up your...." if I remember correctly.)

[Ibbie]

You are correct OFSO. These calls have increased in last couple of weeks.

I've tried three things:

1. Answered with the words "Microsoft Fraud Department", which caused a three day break before they tried again.
2. Letting them listen to the Test Match commentary. This results in them desisiting for the day.
3. Answering in Spanish. On one occasion one of the cretins rang back speaking Spanish.

[G-CPTN]

When I am bothered by these calls I act the stupid old man and repeat their words or answer the quetions with "Yes" even when they reel off multiple choices (such as which age group do I fall in - 20 to 40, 40 to 60, 60 to 80 for example).
The half-wit cannot adjust their script and keep repeating the multiple choices and I repeat my "Yes".
For the 'Microsoft' (or claiming to be my ISP) I take ages to 'switch on my computer' then tell them ythat it is in another room . . .

[Slasher]

I rarely get calls like those, but when I do I answer in the accent of a cranky old Indian guy who's lost his marbles and swears a lot.

Never gotten a callback.

[G-CPTN]

My new camera takes rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 1025 mAh.
I have bought a couple of replacements online which turn out to be only 770 mAh.
I can return them (at my expense), but there is no return address . . .
I need replacement batteries by next Friday.

The cost wasn't excessive - in fact much cheaper than the shop where I bought the camera wants - much cheaper - one seventh of the price, so I suppose I got what I deserve.
