What Are You Doing Today ?

Got a call from a guy saying he was from Publishers Clearing House, and we just won a million dollars and a new car - they were going to deliver the car from a flatbed truck, and all we needed to do was go to Walmart or Walgreens and get some sort of Paypal "green" card with $295 credit on it, which is some California tax. I called PCH fraud hotline - they assured me I did not win (duh) - winners are notified in person by them showing up unannounced at the door (even then I doubt if I'd believe it!)

i hope they nail that lower than dirt jerk scammer!

Gotta find a way to scam the scammers or, at least, slam 'em in the slammer.

Don't get too excited -- Ford keys are the same way.

It wouldn't surprise me if all the late model cars with keyless entry require the person to get their keys at a dealership:(

The rear windshield wiper is another matter:(

I went to Canadian Tire to get a wiper for the back window in my car - "sorry, only the dealer carries them". I'm serious!!! So I go to the dealer (about an hour away), only to pay $35 plus tax for a little wiper for the back window. A real racket they have going.

Good for you for checking - PCH gets a lot of "pilot-fish" that attach themselves to their name and try to scam people.
 
I just forwarded a spoof from so called EBay statement. They tried to get me to sign in with user name and password because they said our records show that I owe them money. Been around long enough and got the crap scared out of me back in 2002.

One day I received a email from a person wanting to know how many ccs my 4-wheeler was. What the hell are they talking about? I don't have anything like that for sale. Got more emails asking more questions so finally searched for 4-wheelers and sure as poop there was a shiny new 4-wheeler for sale with my name as seller. Being new to EBay somehow I had filled out a email that wasn't legit.

Long story short, called EBay, explained what happened, and they had to close my account for 3 days to fix things. So, never, ever give your password to anyone online. Insert Dragnet song here.......:cool:
 
I'm on clover today .....

Got a text message informing me that my mobile phone number had been randomly selected and that I had won 800,000 British pounds. Apologies in advance because I won't be on the forum much in future. I'll be travelling.

Congratulations! I've won millions over the years and like the countless others who have won as well, won't wire the $$$ to claim it. LOL Oh poor Nigeria, come up with some new scams.
 
Went to the Honda dealer to get a key replaced,told them I just wanted a flat key,($12) just in case I get locked out ,so he say this key will only open the door but will not start your engine,you should get the transponder key its only $82.
I told him I already have a transponder,it was IN the car thats why I need the key to get to it if I get locked out again.

He seem so confused.

Key is in my wallet now....WATCH!!! next time Ill leave the wallet AND keys in the car along with the cell phone.
