    Beware of credit card scam boys
    Hey gang, here is a scam I just avoided. My son got a call a few days ago. A guy with a strong Indian accent says you have won a 500.00 grocery vouchure and a 20.00 walmart vouchure. like a dope my kid gives him all his info and was given a confirmation number. well he wised up after he hung up with Hadji and went to his bank and cancelled his credit card. fast forward to today. same guy calls me saying my house phone number was selected. i let the dick head give his speach. He gave me his confirmation number. Then he says, ok i need to verify your card info. i said no and the ****er hung up.

    Signs to look for:

    1. My home phone is not registered. it is non-pub.

    2. said the confirmation number was to show the post man so I can get the voucher. (us postal service doesn't deliver based on confiramtion #'s as I.D.

    Boys these are hard times and scams are at an epidemic pace. keep your guard uip and always ask questions. If its too good to be true it is.

    Ummm...I think the #1 rule in personal finance is to not give your credit card information to random strangers calling you at home. Sounds like common sense to me.

      nigerians have taken a new tact also

      got one today that said they found some criminal scammers in their lovely shit hole, and have seized the funds that are due to me ( a paltry 5 million)

      all i have to do is wire them 200 (thats right two hundred dollars) and the millions are mine!

      damn they have lowered the bar

              my idiot mother had some call from an indian who could barely speak english with all this noise in the background saying she owed some loan from 07 and if she didnt pay they were gonna drag her by her hair to the courthouse. they already had her bank info so she settled on like $400 a week. thank god she told me before they took the payments and i made her change her account. at least your son is young enough to be a "dope" my mom got fooled by these crooks and she's almost 60
