Fraud Alert!
« on: January 10, 2013, 07:36:53 PM »
I just got an e-mail from "Visa"-- no bank, just "Visa"-- saying my card is suspended due to prevent fruadulent use  :rofl:

I'm supposed to click a link and follow the steps to get the suspension lifted  :rofl: :rofl:

I just betcha the steps are:

--give us yoiur card number
--give us your security code
--give us the exp date
--and your full name.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm just a little bit smarter than that.

Anybody know where I can forward this so there might be some legal repercussions?

(I'd really like to troll 'em hard first, but I don't have the time to do it well.)

From Visa's website:

How can I report fraudulent Visa Web site or e-mail?
You can report e-mail fraud claiming to be from Visa by attaching the suspicious message to an e-mail addressed to: phishing@visa.com

Visa will never send you an e-mail asking for confidential information such as account numbers, passwords, PIN numbers, credit card numbers or social security numbers.

Protect yourself from fraudulent e-mails claiming to be from a credit card company, bank or other popular Internet web site. Delete unsolicited e-mails that ask for this type of your bank's information. If you suspect you've provided confidential information to a fraudulent site, contact the customer service department.

I believe the FBI also has a cybercrime reporting page on their website.

Absolutely not. That tells them that their messages are being received and read.

Once someone texted me
Her- "Hey you wanna go out clubbing tonight?"
Me- Sure! I need to go shopping first.
"Lol, why?"
I gotta look good for the ladies.
"Lol ok"
Yeah I need to buy some new thongs.

Then I get a call.
"Tony?"
Nope
"Oh ok well bye"
Bye

LOL....remember the days of the old PCs on land lines?  It took forever to download a picture.  When spam was first started, i would reply to them loading up several very large photographs and hit the send button before going to bed.  I figured it would take them hours to download my response, backing up all their other mail.

I don't even have an answering machine on my home phone anymore. If I don't know who it is I don't answer it. I give my cell number to the school, doctor offices or other important companies/people. It has cut down on sales calls a ton. When it rings and rings and no one answers they think it isn't a valid number and they take it off the list.

Yup. Best just to leave the assholes think their stuff got through rather than confirm it.
