It must be the scam season. My electric utility provider sent out an email today about phone calls that seek payment on bills that are not overdue. This particular scam wants the customer to go and get a prepaid card and then call them back and give them the prepaid card number. There must be people out there that would do this or the scamers would just give up.
My financial controller got a call today from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. They wanted her to allow them to connect to her computer and "fix" a problem. Caller ID revealed "unknown" on both the name and number. But, the dead give a-way was the guy’s accent. He obviously was not from East Texas.
I sure hope none of these people call my mother-in-law. One of two things will happen. The worse case is that she will go along with them. Then, I will have to try to undo whatever was done. The next thing that could happen is that she will confuse them to a point that they will just shoot themselves.
I can’t fix that.
