Play it Again, Scam
Evidently someone is really worried about my computer license key expiring because I got the same scam call today that I got yesterday. It may be interesting to see how many more times they try before they drop me from their list. It's amazing how persistent scammers can be. I got a particular laugh when someone tried the "Hello, Grandma..." call on me. You know the one where your grandchild is supposedly in deep trouble and needs you to send money right away? My grandchildren and I have a secret code so I knew right away that the first call was a scam. I did think it was interesting that they tried three more times in less than a week, each time with a different accent. Since my grandchildren are not Hispanic, Indian or Japanese, this ploy made it even easier for me to identify it as a scam. Who knows what tomorrow might bring? Thank goodness for caller ID.
