How to know if a voicemail left is legit or a scam?

Answered 4 years and 5 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer
Relax, it is a scam. The federal government NEVER places such calls. The best thing you can do is ignore them, just hang up. However, if you have a few minutes, you can have fun, pretend you are terrified and will do "anything" to get out of this terrible jam. Then spend as much time as you can tying them up and never giving them your social, birthday, address or credit card number. Why would you do this? Because every moment they are talking to you, they are not hurting some innocent who doesn't know better.  Tell they they are very well informed you just won the powerball for $27 million.  Sometimes I ask them if they believe in G-d. Then I ask them how He would feel about them lying and stealing all day. Just remember, if you talk to them, no information, drag out looking for your wallet but NEVER give them actual personal info. Be safe out there!  ... Read More
