Telephone scammers just won’t give up

How many times is Brittney going to call about my credit card debt? Every day she calls, and I hang up. If I don’t have $10,000 in credit card debt she doesn’t want to talk to me.

I’ve been called so many times about my IRS lawsuits I’ve lost count. I was called Aug. 18th at 7:45 a.m. I know the IRS doesn’t call, so why do these scammers continue?

I had a window man call today and I told him my windows have already been replaced; with that he said how about your cabinets? Are these people stealing truckloads of items and selling them illegally?

Microsoft called on August 22nd at 10:45 p.m., yes that’s right, telling me computer had a problem. He said he was calling from London when I asked if he knew what time it was. On Aug. 23rd at 10:36 p.m., it was the same moron.

Don’t these people ever get the hint? One time during the day an idiot called and I told him my computer was in the shop and he still continued about my problem.

All I can say is watch out for these scammers, all they want is your information so they can bankrupt you.

Don’t fall for their B.S. Don’t be a victim, you’ll never get your life back.
