..anyone else getting endless calls?  I was up late last night watching a show on Netflix and my phone started ringing at 1:30am....I googled the number and it was on a list of scams...it called back again...and again...repetitively...atleast 8 times...wtf!! I ended blocking the number...I'm seriously pissed off they choose to call repetitively at that hour.  



And then again today more calls, but a different number.  I'm so sick of it.

I just googled the numbers that called me this afternoon...more of those fake pretending to be a bank looking into your account.  This shit is so old.  Are people literally still falling for this shit??

How does your bank business work..





Do you have a username and a password to the bank website?

Any bank will NEVER call you.  They will send you a letter and ask you to come down to the bank IF there is a problem.



NEVER give anyone any information about yourself on the phone.

I haven't had any for quite a while. All have been recordings.

I had a break for a while...now I'm getting them again.  But I never get the repetative calls in the wee hours of the morning.  I just checked my phone logs.. and even tho I blocked the number..it called me again around 10am...I missed the call I guess.  I dont get how they can still call even tho you block them??

Banks should never call you and ask for information.  That's a red flag right there.  They may call to confirm or remind about an appointment.



I have had tonnes of emails from banks...e en banks I dont even deal with..telling me there is a "problem with my account and to email back with a bunch of personal info"....yeah...NO.



I've shown this to tellers and they said it's all scams.



I one time had a problem with my account a d the bank sent me a letter giving a brief outline of the problem and asked me to come down in person  << that is the legit way of doing business with a bank.

I dunno cause I dont answer anymore.  When I use to answer it was always an actual person...most of the time, it was a person who couldn't speak English properly or had an accent so thick you could cut it with a fart.



I'm not getting messages or recordings at all, so I'm presuming it's actually a person calling me.



I use to pick up and say nothing...you could hear the person immediately babbling at the other end...they use to always call while I was making dinner...so I would put the phone up to the fan running above the stove until they hung up.  



Other times I would make noises like I was taking a shit.

Oh you guys (and gals)

Just talk perverted and bizarre to them. Ask them how many times a day they finger their bottoms thinking about their mums getting pack raped by orangutans in clown shoes. Anything like that and the boys lose their subcontinental sht.
Blahhhhhh...
