Get rid of your landline
Stop answering numbers you don’t know. They can leave a msg.
I did exactly that. 10 msgs per day… minimum
Call your phone company, get them to turn off your mailbox. No more messages.
Phone scammers are everywhere!! No exception even city like Vancouver!! Stay Alert and be vigilant!!
Actually most of the phone scammers are in India
You can call any number from anywhere in the world
It is 2021
These scammers are organized and international and should be dealt with at the level of Terrorists.
Gotta target India
On one hand I feel very sorry about this, but on the other, they kinda deserved it; I mean who transfers 500k in a single day on the say-so of a voice on their phone?!?! Stupid is as stupid does.
Send me 500k quick I’m from the police 👮
No one should lose their job because of COVID mandates. That won’t happen in the great state of Florida. Thank you Floridians for all your love and support!
