Today's Scam

I got a letter in the mail from some company telling me that my local hospital's database had been breached, and to call them to check on it and protect myself. It seemed legit, so I called. They told me I could get "4 years of protection for free".... all I had to do was give her my full legal name, full address, social security number, and a credit card number.
I hung up.

419 is the Nigerian law code against internet fraud.
Anyway, there are some great anti-scam things pulled by people on there.

They must have a certain percentage of successes otherwise they would not still do it. Hard to imagine, but they must.

The "Glitter Booby-Trap" guy did a video exposing some of the call-center frauds in India. It's astonishing how effective these a-holes are. It only takes one email to become profitable, and you can send out millions - basically for free. A total loss of $60 million dollars lost to scammers.
