Compter's and Other Scams

"This is computer services, within two business days, the sum of $399.00 will be automatically deducted from your account." This is the second time, the scammers have called me up on my cell phone. The robot call probably came from India. I have called Best Buys, and their plans are only $199.00. "And they don't do things like that. Scammers have been busy calling up their customers, and even people who are who are not their customers and using scare tactics on them." The first time they called, yesterday I must admit I got scared and transferred funds to my debit/checking account. To avoid having that account in the red. After calling my local Everett credit union, I had them transfer the money back. "Since it is tax season, the scammers call up and scare people by pretending to be from the IRS. And scared people really give them their money. The IRS doesn't do things like that. They even called my mom and told her Norton would take money out of her account, and she doesn't even have a computer. They keep on calling people like you Roxanne trying to get them worked up so they will give them their personal information. If they do try and do something, we will stop them. You did the right thing, by just hanging up on them." And who can forget the favorite grand parents scam? Calling up people who happen to have grand kids, pretending to be in trouble. Usually in jail, and would they please post their bail money? They would cry, beg and plea and even threaten. There are other scams out there. "Would you please deposit a check, we will send you from the United Kingdom? The scam came out of Nigeria. The United Kingdom, Canada, India and Nigeria are the nations most of the scam artists are located. He would contact me on my computer when I was living on Madison Avenue, Everett Washington. Claiming my friends were trying to turn me against him. He would call me up in the middle of the night even. I had to change my phone number. There were other scams authored over my computer. I did not tell you the full details. He wanted me to send him $400.00 dollars, and in return he would send me $400.00. People actually fell for his scam, deposited the checks, insufficient funds would be available because their check would bounce. His victim's would be found guilty of fraudulent banking activities. He wanted me to be in charge of establishing, a factious person's charitable trust fund in the United States. Roxanne Lea Dubarry o1/23/20
