could be a spam message?
Could be. You might ask if James is a Nigerian prince who will arrest you if you don't pay him back taxes with gift cards to make absolutely sure. Although he may want to clear up a problem he noticed on your Windows PC first. If he mentions that you won a Walmart gift card, I'd run though.
Well, I'm sure I'll have no problems at all with scammers on the financial side of things. The Social Security office called and had me give them my SS number, bank account information, and credit card numbers so they could monitor all my accounts for fraudulent activity. PC-wise, I found a shiny new USB stick in a parking lot, stuck it into my laptop, and whadaya know, it contains valuable software that will eliminate malware and increase my laptop's speed by up to 40%! I'm going to run it tonight. Lucky me!!

Unexpectedly coming upon that, I suddenly laughed out loud, big guffaws! Thanks for the first laugh, and maybe the only laugh of the day. Good thing I wasn't eating or drinking anything, or else my monitor and/or keyboard would need a big cleanup. I never expected to get a big laugh out of the Forum Admin forum!........PC-wise, I found a shiny new USB stick in a parking lot, stuck it into my laptop, and whadaya know, it contains valuable software that will eliminate malware and increase my laptop's speed by up to 40%!

This call is from the Department of Social Security administration. The reason you have received this phone call from our department is to inform you that there's a legal enforcement action is filed on your Social Security number for fraudulent activities, so when you get this message kindly call back at the earliest possible on our number before we begin with the legal proceedings. That is 332-230-0138 I repeat 332-230-0138 thank you…
Lol[emoji23][emoji23]There are a couple of very wealthy Nigerian pastors, so.......lol
I thought the Social Security office wanted you to go out to Walmart, buy $3000 worth of gift cards, and read them the numbers, all while you stay on the line on your HOME phone. They refuse to take a check. And the sheriff is on his way to arrest you if you don’t do what the SS office says,
Social Security left me a scary message last week:
That number is reported online as associated with an SS scam.
