Yesterday evening and then again this morning I have been receiving phone calls from someone ID’ing themselves as being from Verizon. They keep trying to tell me I’m being hacked at my Verizon internet connection and someone from a foreign country will soon be able to access my information. Well 2 things
1st all he’s gonna get in the way of financial is bills hope he pays them. Second I know it’s a scam because Verizon sold me to Frontier and they have their own names on all their internet accounts the only thing that says Verizon is my email address. I have called Verizon and filed a complaint with the FCC regarding it. Just thought I’d pass it along

I’ve gotten those types of calls before-It’s amazing the sheer balls some of these jack-ware pirates have! I’ve decided when I do answer these calls to try and keep them on the line for as long as possible. I don’t actually go anywhere near a “live” computer. I just clack away on an old keyboard that is pretty noisy and try to stall them for as long as I can. So far, I’ve been able to tie one of these shysters up for a solid 10 minutes. I figure it’s 10 minutes that they won’t be scamming anyone else, and I’ve got nothing better to do. Besides, it’s much more funny than any sitcom currently on the boob tube!

I have a better solution. I use the telephone for what it is intended for. PHONE CALLS I don’t do internet I have gone as far as sending pics and texts, but other than that neither of our phones has ever been used for internet anything
