Why there are many cases of SCAMS in Canada? Hindi na natapos. Grabe na. I think that's what happened with high technology. The scammers can hide and they can strike anywhere around the world to scam whom they would like to victimize.
Just this morning news on CTV, an elderly woman received a phone call asking her personal information such as her Health card, S.I.N. all those vital information that you should not pass to anybody especially through telephone conversation.
The old people are target of this scam. Well, how many times I have been asked such things and I just decided to cut off conversation from the caller right immediately. There are so many calls about I won something like trip for two to Bahamas. How could that be? Or Nigerian phone calls that something wrong with my computer and they can fix it provided that I gave them information. Weird. They can see the "insides of my computer?" Hackers?
Many phone calls that are machine recorded and you have to listen to the message. It's like automated robo calls.
What To Do:
1. Inform the Better Business Bureau
2. Buy a CALLER ID Telephone machine. You can see the telephone number and name of the caller. If its PRIVATE or you don't recognize the name and number DON'T ANSWER.
3. Contact your Telephone Company and unlisted your phone number and name from the Telephone Directory.
4. If the caller becomes annoying and persistent almost like a Scary Movie, report it to the police.
5. Some people reported the case to the News network. Yeah, that's also a good thing so that other people are warned to be cautious.
