Scam O'Clock

[RVR II]

A tax customer of mine that is awaiting an appointment to see the Social Security Administration just called me after receiving multiple calls claiming to be from the Social Security Administration trying to get their SSN and bank account information..
First thing I asked was "Did they sound like they had a foreign accent?" And they said yes.
I immediately told them it was a scam from India and not to give them any personal information to them under any circumstances. I even told them the next time they called to tell them you know this is a scam and that you reported their phone number(s) to the authorities and they should stop calling.
I feel like I did my good deed for the day

I got a scam call today of some jackass pretending to be from Apple. Anyway, I talked to this guy, and I asked "Does this have to do with my account ending in 6148???" and he said "Yes sir" and he asked "Do you know anybody in Russia or Mexico?" and I couldn't stop myself, I started laughing my ass off. He said "Why are you laughing sir?" and I said "It's just a funny question man."

So he says "Then take my cock in your mouth and suck it!" and I started laughing my ass off again, and he just hung up.

That's fucking hysterical. I would reply with: Please sir please remit payment in form of cashier's check or money order to behind the hot water pipe, 303 75th avenue NE, Philadelphia, PA. Failure to do so immediately will result in automatic criminal prosecution under international usury laws.

For weeks I've been getting messages saying that they are giving me a final courtesy call before my file is closed and to press 1 now, they don't say a company name or any information about who they are, I'm starting to think they are never going to close out my file.... 

[RoninFox]

Got a call today from a man I could barely understand through an accent I couldn't come close to identifying claiming he was from "Washington Township" and "returning my call from last week about the coronavirus vaccine."

Neither my wife or I have made any calls about the vaccine, we know that they aren't available for us yet in our area and are set up to be notified by email by our health-care provider when they are.

Also, I live in Texas, which doesn't have a Washington Township, or in fact townships at all.

Since about 5:30 I've been getting a call every 10 minutes, all from different numbers, all the same recording saying my iCloud account has been compromised and to call in before using any apple device. 

Stupid annoying scammers...  It's happening on my vontage number so I don't hear the ring but it's filling up my voicemail and I get the emails telling me there's a new message.

If it's Vonage (which I have as well) I disconnect it from the internet for the night and reconnect it in the morning.

Does that stop the emails?  I thought when the box doesn't have an internet connection calls go straight to voicemail, pretty sure when I've had power outages I still got the emails with the voicemail recordings. 

I have the ringer off on the phone plugged into the Vontage box, so it's just the emails with the voice messages that keep showing up.

They may have stopped, haven't gotten one in the last 15 minutes.

I have mine run from a port on my 8 port switch so I can still use my modem with internet on my desktop. I just disconnect my cat5 cable from the Vonage box.
I have a Vtech answering machine run from my Vonage line so I don't use the Vonage voicemail

OK, yes, if you don't use the Vonage voicemail then unplugging the box would stop everything.    I got rid of my answering machine when I moved.
