Related to the telemarketers, I just got the second call in 2 weeks that I had won $2.5 million from Publishers Central Clearing House.

FYI, I got his number so I could call him back: 1-876-881-0225

Googling it up, I see that others have gotten the call and the bottom line is they need money from you to get the funds released. You'd think that Nigerians, or where ever they are calling from, would be more clever than that.

Want to have some fun, give them a call

Wife got ****ed that I told her next time they call, I would tell them that I want to speak to a white man

It's a cell phone in Jamaica.

The amazing thing is that people actually fall for it.

You paint with too big a brush. Just like you don't have to be colored to
like watermelon, you don't have to be a racist to insist on an
understandable accent.

Yeah, why don't you call them back and report to us what you may subsequently discover, that many of those numbers (like this 1-876 prefix) are subject to international long distance rates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_876

Not amazing, the scammers count on it. By claiming something completely
impossible ("I am the wife of the former Nigerian dictator..."), they can
immediately weed out those with even a scintilla of skepticism.

You're right. I never call these numbers back and missed the area code.
Sorry I posted number because of this. It was not mentioned when I
googled it up, just that they were probably Nigerians over here.

I do recall this one:

I had a neighbor taken in on the phone and he did not know it until I
told him. He won't tell me how much money was involved or how much it
cost him but the thieves got all of his bank and credit card information
with access days before he discovered it.

I think one of the reasons that happens so easily is how accustomed many
have become to "papers please!". I am really big on not giving up
information. I love the dumb looks (and virtual dumb looks when on the
phone) I get when I ask someone "why do you need to know this" and this
is after I know who they are.

I think the main reason is greed. Greed with a touch of larceny. Remember,

Specifics of the scammed neighbor were that he got a call from someone
that said they were the police and wanted to catch a credit card
defrauder with the same name. Neighbor gave them all his credit card and
bank information including pass words and identifying stuff like
mother's maiden name. The "police" then had him forward his phone calls
to one of their phones. I found out because I could not reach him by
phone and when I finally did, he told me how he had been helping the
"police". I told him he had been robbed and he better call the real police.

My rule of thumb is that anyone that calls me that I do not know is
lying. I get calls all the time from the police associations for
donations. I tell them that if they arrive at my house in their squad
car in uniform, I'll consider it

Exactly. Part of this scam is "oh just leave a check under the front
door mat. We will pick it up and not disturb you."

I get calls from "another city's police organization". I always wonder why I don't get calls from those in my city. They tell me they are raising funds for the disabled policemen or for the policemen's retirement fund, or some such. I remind the callers that policemen are civil servants and they already have those benefit servives, it comes with being a civil servant, so why are you asking for "supplemental" funds? The callers usually don't have a reasonable answer.

I do like the idea of having them come over to recieve a donation, though. I hadn't thought about asking them to do that.

I've now got at least 5 message blocks on Homo's changed names. I also
refuse to answer him if he sneaks in a thread. I'm reminded of another
Canadian who got his just deserts when he mistakenly posted from his
government account in another ng and was so embarrassed that he quit
posting. It should happen to this jerk.

About eight years ago I got a phone call claiming that the caller was
calling "on behalf of the xxx Association of Police." I declined to
contribute at the time but did a little research, which showed that our
state "Association of Police" and those of some other states had hired a
fund-raising company that guaranteed a certain amount to each
Association of Police (or maybe called something else in other states)
and got to keep whatever it raised beyond that. The company (whose name
I no longer remember) was making money hand over fist and was being
investigated by the Attorneys General of some states.

I found a piece on our "Association of Police"'s Web site where they
were boasting to the members about this wonderful deal they had done
with this fund-raising company "to subsidize your Union dues."
