And tell them to take the amount back off his account...So terrible! Awful thing to do to ppl.....and you know ...they really don't even benifit from this...Just a good laugh..[/QUOTE]
Exactly, but now they are doing tying into the yorkie/western union scam! But they CAN gain money out of this one. The guy was trying to get me to pay the shipping on a "free" yorkie from Michigan. They do this because the service is free (international calls are expensive), to get your $$ from western union, because they have a bad accent, and to gain your sympathy. I just feel bad for anyone who posts anywhere their phone number saying that they want a yorkie because they will probably get a phone call from one of these scammers using the teletype system. It absolutely DISCUSTS me that people would use such a wonderful system for the handicapped for this and NOTHING can be done about it! I can tell the guy reading the teletype to me was irritated, he knew it was a scam and someone taking advantage of it, wasting his time, but there was nothing he could do! Everytime I asked him a question he said that he wasn't allowed to get involved in the conversations because he took an oath.
And yes, I'm still trying to find Brandy a new home. |
