Scam Callers

 Do scam callers actually get away with it? Do they really think I'm gonna give them ANY of my information?

I have, in the last 3 days, received numerous calls from people who can BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH. I mean, english as in their 14th or 15th language. As in BARELY.

I would love to get the free gas and electricity for seniors they are offering from my provider PGE.

But am I gonna sign up for that over the phone when my phone says scam likely? 

I don't think so Tim.

I know PGE is NOT Likely to provide me with anything free. Especially since they sent me an email a few months back saying rates would go up in the next 5 years by 4.5 billion bucks.

I mean, who would you believe? The one saying it will be free, or the one who says I am gonna bend you over and shove those transmission cables up your ass?

  1. They are recording your voice to use at a later date. Don’t talk to them and never say yes.

  2. They're after stupid people and they only need 1 in 100 or less to win.

  3. Ditto. Within a few days of going to a doctor, scammers begin calling. Same pattern: their mastery of the English language is clouded with accents common to people from India or Vietnam. They always have my medical records and know why I saw a doctor. THAT pisses me off. Is someone at Medicare selling them my information?
