I get a phone call from Cindy, Janet, Stephanie, Rachel, Samantha, Jennifer, or Melissa at Credit Services twice a week. I always block the number and report it as spam, but I know they're using VOIP and spoofing the phone numbers so it really doesn't do any good.

Mr. Abib called from Microsoft to tell me my computer was sending out "dangerous virus" to everyone on the internet but not to worry they would fix it for free. "No money". I played him till he had to transfer me to his "Technology Superior" who would fix my computer. Then I hung up. Wasted 5-10 minutes of his time and ran their long distance bill up a bit.

Yeah, faking a local number so people are more likely to pick-up.

I see in the news this morning 70+ people have been arrested in connection with this scam.
