Caller ID can be spoofed.How do they call from a discontinued number?
Exactly. One called me using the Dish customer number. I'm not that quick to think, but later I was thinking to myself, if that was truly Dish, or any other business, they would not call me from the same number given out for customers to contact them. Besides that, if the guy was truly from Dish, he'd have my info in front of him and wouldn't have to ask. I get calls from our local area code, that do not have a correct exchange (think that's the name, the next 3 numbers after the area code), therefore a spoofed number. There's software or something they use to show fake numbers on the Caller ID.
Today I got a call from Apple "support". Whoops, I forgot to get an Apple product they can "help" me with.
So sorry...
I get e-mails from about every bank that there is, saying that there is problem with my account and I need log on right away. I only do business with one bank and they do not refer to me as "Dear Customer".
Maybe the problem is that you don't have an account there...?I get e-mails from about every bank that there is, saying that there is problem with my account...
I like that they're doing it as a "precushion"! Hilarious!I never respond either, I'm well versed in not responding or noticing things so it's easy enough!
Saw this the other day, worst scam ever....

This is one.
This is what happens when you reply to spam email
I had another one recently and decided to follow Lee Evan's advice:
Scam Caller: "Hello, is that Mr (mother's maiden name)?"
Me: "I AM SPARTACUS!"
Follow that with, "I expect to appear at your local federal court at [specific date & time]! Do you got that?"Do you understand your rights ?"
