Solve : New Scam is Slick, Clever and Dirty.? |
|
Answer» One word. Saferweb The initial page advertised two years for $4.95. AFTER I was charged the confirmation informed me I was charged $130. I emailed BILLING, but after reading multiple reviews saying that won't work I just called my credit card to report the unauthorized charge. Total scam.There are many more like that. And it is not really new. Just new to me. SAD to say, the App is still on the Google Play Store. Speaking of SCAMS, there are many out there. Many use Internet advertising. https://www.scamguard.com/list-of-scams Top 10 Scams of 2016 My question is: Why did Saferweb not make the top ten? The Tech Support cold calling I have had people ask me about. Still waiting for them to call me and play with them in a honey pot. As far as scammers so, I have seen them in online games a few times. They hit you up pretending to be the game company. And fact is that the game company would never ask personal or credit card info. I played along on a female character I was playing once that was targeted. I guess the scammer thought that all female avitars in games have a female at the other end of them. I was told that my account would be locked if I dont confirm my account with them. So I played the innocent female pretending not to know any better and was like ... "ohhhh really oh no ... I dont want get locked out of this game" and then I would sidetrack the subject and ask about in game content questions to be annoying... They would bring me back on subject and I would be scatter minded and SIDE track them again in text chat in game. Over and over they asked for info and I would be scatter minded but no so scatter minded that they would know that I was playing them, but just enough to be annoying and waste their time. I eventually shared a fake name ( Anita Honeypot ), and address, and told them I dont have a phone number yet because I need to buy a trackphone still. I dont have much money. In which when i said I dont have much money I was asked do you own a credit card and I said yes with a $10,000 limit... why? And that baited the scammer along to want to not hang up on me but go for the gold, that $10,000 limit credit card I was waving in front of his face but he didnt know the numbers yet. So instantly he went to the credit card bait subject and was like ok I need you to share with me your name on the card.. in which I played him and said well dont you have my name already, I gave it to you earlier? He said oh yes yes... thank you. But can you please confirm the name on the card. I said oh ok. Anita Honeypot (* I was wondering if he was going to pick up on the Honeypot as the last name as to that he is getting played and Anita like ... I Need A HoneyPot, but he didnt pick up on this. ) And waited and then he was like ok I need the credit card number next. I was like ohhh ok well hold on I need to go get my purse. Meanwhile I made myself a sandwich and placed him on hold for 5 minutes. I then actually went and got my wallet so I could start off the credit card with the correct leading 4 digits so it would look real to him. So I said it was a Discover Card and he was like ok.. now the number please. So I said 6077 ... and hit enter key for first block... Note 77 is wrong and it should be 11. He instantly picked up on this as wrong and asked if its really 6011. I was like OHHH sorry I am looking at it without my glasses on. He was like thats ok, ok the next digits please so I said 97B0 he is like 9780. I said no its a B I know for sure, im squinting my eyes and I see a flat side to it so it must be a B. He then said its an 8. I was like oh... wow I need to get my eyes checked out I guess. So you have any suggestions of a good place to go for that that is cheap? He didnt answer that and INSTEAD asked for the next group of numbers. I said ok its 8675309 ( *Jenny ... but didnt tell him the Jenny reference.) He was like so its 8675 309 your missing a digit Oh I am let me see Nope I think thats all digits He said the next group of digits should be 8 digits and not 7 I said oh well there is an 8 in it see 8675309. It starts with 8? He then got frustrated and started saying give me a break woman, its not that hard ... ok give me the next 4 digits So I said 8675 He said ok good now the next 4 I said 309 He then was like there must be another digit woman I was like ohhhhh my credit card was run over in the parking lot once and its slightly damaged... Looking more closely I do se a digit there He said finally ok what is it. I said well it might be a 0 or a B, the plastic is squashed. He said thats fine an that he will test at his end whether its a 0 or a 8 for me, and he reminded me again that there are no letters in credit card numbers. I said oh thank you so much for checking on that and can you tell me what it is when you find out and he said yes. So next came expiration date. He must have figured he was that much closer to scamming me out of $10,000 But another road block. I said ok it says 05/14 He said its 05/14 and I said yes. He said mam your card is expired I was like oh... well i havent used it in a while hmmm He was like do you have another credit card. I said no. I dont use my card much and the last time I used my card I bought myself a bunch of different colored glittery nail polish and it gave me a headache. The guy then said Woman, Your Giving me a headache... Give me a valid credit card number NOW! So I said ohhh I could use my boyfriends card i guess right? And he was like yes that would work. So I said ok one minute I need to go find his wallet. I then ate my lunch keeping him on hold in the game. I then decided 7 minutes was long enough and got back to him... I said ok I have it He said Thank You He said ok I need his name please. I said his name is Ben Dover He at first didnt pick up on this and then like 20 seconds later it clicked and out came the rage in the text to me with lots of bad words. He finally figured out that I was telling him to Bend Over. I then laughed at him and said thank you for making my day and he after all mad at me was asking me why i wasted his time. He still thought i was a girl by the way so he was spamming the text chat with Woman this and Woman that. I said why not? ....... By me wasting your time... I made you upset which put a huge smile on my face by the way and kept you from scamming other people! ( Playing along with in character as a female even though i am a male, )I said your in a game after all and well LIL OL ME PLAYED YOU !!! He raged out and left and i ate the rest of my lunch and kept LAUGHING and then I copy pasted the chat to clipboard and contacted the game support to report him and told them that I toyed with him. By the way there are some really great scammers getting played on youtube, ... This guy set up a sweet honeypot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnDFVS0VVNo |
