Scammer watch

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Be careful guys. We might be internet savvy but these vultures use their digital superpowers to target the vulnerable. Watch out for your elders.

Be careful people, protect your elders from these digital crooks.

I receive at least 3 emails a week (Bank, Fidelity, & Which?) warning me of such scammers and how to avoid them.

Once however I got the scam call telling me my computer had a cirus, so I asked the digital clowns what my IP address was, they went into meltdown, especially after receiving a barrage of punjabi abuse.

The first line of defence is the accent, if it doesn't sound British, then hang up.

I usually get calls from someone with a desi accent pretending to be someone he is not - they get abusive if you play around with them so I simply block them

I used to do the same thing originally, then realised these are just third world folk being paid to do a job on the cheap by big corporate companies, so I don't give any abuse, just politely say I am not interested, and then hang up.

Man this is hilarious. How many of us haven't been called up by someone claiming to be Alex or Robert in a thick Indian accent?

How many scammer numbers have you blocked?

Google seems to block a few through spam filter, but some how these snakes reappear!

Had a call the other day from a guy claiming to be in London and working for a phone company, calling himself John.

Broad Indian accent and sounded pushy.

When I asked him what part of London he was based in, he said Plymouth

Call ended, number blocked.

I wonder if we'll ever get a scammer using Suella as her fake handle?

Another beauty

I get calls from Indian scammers even on my work phone lol, they pretend to be Google Ads rep haha. I always do gaali galoch in Hindi and they get a minor shock and they are they ones to hang up not me.

I am more fed up with Chinese scammers, they occupy my voice mail inbox and it's a PITA. It's always 'you have unclaimed Fedex parcel blah blah, press 1 for Chinese 2 for English'.

For some reason I haven't received any Nigerian scammer email in a long time, Gmail is really good these days to filter such emails. No more you won 10 million lottery emails.

But it's 100% possible that desi accent caller sitting in subcontinent claiming to work for western telecom company is telling the truth, at least in Canada. I recently met a newcomer who was already working for a Canadian company for last 3 years from India. It was Ericsson hiring these guys.

Scammers aside, I cannot even look at this YouTuber's coloured hair in thumbnail leave alone watching his video.

I know BT in UK shifted their call centre to India. Even the ones telling the truth were thought to be scammers. BT lost quite a bit of business and were ultimately force to reopen their call centre in the UK

I started a thread on this a while ago.

Its sad to say but if you receive a call from someone with an Indian accent, always suspect it as a scam until otherwise satisfied.

 

[SalimBhai]

We don’t get much of that here in the US. At least I don’t.

 

[Saj]

Still getting emails from African princesses wanting to invest their fortunes with me, but wanting money up front from me

 

[PakLFC]

Arab ladies seem to be joining the party too. It is not possible to be 100% safe online.

My friend works in a call center and tries to convince me its a good job and one can make a career.

Basically he works in sales and sells petrol cards to truckers in USA.

He doesnt use his real name, and uses a fake english name like Jeff or Mathew.

Guy gets a basic salary of 80k per month and a comission of 3-5 lakhs for his sales. Dont know if its legit or not. Maybe it is.

I almost got a call center job that paid well, ended up doing a low paid one which is of a market researcher and now i regret it.

I remember seeing India being the number 1 hub of scamming, primarily stealing money from seniors in Canada and the United States.

Even most recently my parents whom are elderly get scam calls from India. A lot of seniors last a lot of money due to this issue. I Hope this can be stopped one day.

Disgraceful.

How do these people sleep at night knowing they are stealing from innocent people?

 

[IMMY69]

Very soon these call centres workers will be made redundant...
They're moving on from these people and have started using AI which have a perfect English accent...

Scum of the earth

They have no concept of morality. They are willing to earn money even if it means being vile scumbags (i.e., call center scammers).

Close enough! Closer than Bombay..
