I didn't send the e-mail as requested. As for my phone number, it was already listed on the CL ad, that's how they contacted me to begin with so calling them from the same phone didn't add any risk. I just wondered if there was some new scam out there but from these responses it appears its the same scams they've been using for years.
I haven't heard from the royal family from Nigeria yet who want to transfer millions of dollars to my bank account, that scam is probably coming in the next few days. However the "Sheriff" did call to tell us there's a warrant out for our son but they'll waive the warrant if we give them $100 via our credit card (Sheriff doesn't call anyone with a warrant, the meet you face to face). And of course the "IRS" called to tell us we owe back taxes and of course, they too would not arrest us if we give them our credit card number. As we all know, if the IRS has an issue with your taxes, you get a letter in the mail.
Then there's my favorite, the call from "Microsoft" because our computer is sending them error messages. I have an ongoing competition with those dudes to see how long I can string them along before they catch on they're being reverse scammed. It's great. I do the elderly guy who can't remember what they just told me, taking several minutes to type in one line on the computer. Finally, when the computer supposedly has a screen pop up (not really) they ask me what it says and I tell them "It says this guys been stringing you along to set a new record for how long he can waste your time while not actually typing anything into the computer". Actually had one guy laugh and wish me a nice day.
