UPDATE on Interesting Voice Mail

UPDATE on Interesting Voice Mail:

This is a sample of the different scams on the internet. The most common right now is they are from the IRS, Social Security, or You will be arrested if you..blabblab..

As I often do , I reported this.  In my report to the FBI, I found that these calls, especially with threats of bodily harm, are under reported and anyone receiving such calls should file a report.

So, if you are so inclined to do so as I am,  this is one way to report it.   Internet Crimes Complaint Center (IC3) Home.

Filing a Complaint with the IC3

The IC3 accepts online Internet crime complaints from either the actual victim or from a third party to the complainant. We can best process your complaint if we receive accurate and complete information from you. Therefore, we request you provide the following information when filing a complaint:

  • Victim’s name, address, telephone, and email
  • Financial transaction information (e.g., account information, transaction date and amount, who received the money)
  • Subject’s name, address, telephone, email, website, and IP address
  • Specific details on how you were victimized
  • Email header(s)
  • Any other relevant information you believe is necessary to support your complaint

The mission of the Internet Crime Complaint Center is to provide the public with a reliable and convenient reporting mechanism to submit information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation concerning suspected Internet-facilitated criminal activity and to develop effective alliances with law enforcement and industry partners. Information is analyzed and disseminated for investigative and intelligence purposes to law enforcement and for public awareness.

Since 2000, the IC3 has received complaints crossing the spectrum of cyber crime matters, to include online fraud in its many forms including Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) matters, Computer Intrusions (hacking), Economic Espionage (Theft of Trade Secrets), Online Extortion, International Money Laundering, Identity Theft, and a growing list of Internet facilitated crimes. It has become increasingly evident that, regardless of the label placed on a cyber crime matter, the potential for it to overlap with another referred matter is substantial. Therefore, the IC3, formerly known as the Internet Fraud Complaint Center (Internet Fraud Complaint Center), was renamed in October 2003 to better reflect the broad character of such matters having an Internet, or cyber, nexus referred to the IC3, and to minimize the need for one to distinguish “Internet Fraud” from other potentially overlapping cyber crimes.

Closer to Reality then Fiction perhaps?

Caller: Is this Gordon’s Pizza?
Google: No sir, it’s Google Pizza.
Caller: I must have dialed a wrong number. Sorry.
Google: No sir, Google bought Gordon’s Pizza last month.
Caller: OK. I would like to order a pizza.
Google: Do you want your usual, sir?
Caller: My usual? You know me?
Google: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.
Caller: OK! That’s what I want.
Google: May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?
Caller: What? I detest vegetables!
Google: Your cholesterol is not good, sir.
Caller: How the hell do you know!
Google: Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
Caller: Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetable pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.
Google: Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you only purchased a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drug RX Network, 4 months ago.
Caller: I bought more from another drugstore.
Google: That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.
Caller: I paid in cash.
Google: But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.
Caller: I have other sources of cash.
Google: That doesn’t show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.
Caller: WHAT THE HELL!!!
Google: I’m sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.
Caller: Enough already! I’m sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I’m going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.
Google: I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago.
