Warning to scammers. You might just get a visit from “The Beekeeper”. (Google The Beekeeper movie trailer if you are not aware of this Jason Stratham movie).
This happens EVERY DAY and they are so successful, they it’s like “picking fruit’. Americans are that gullible. NEVER EVER GIVE INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE! I know. Someone very close to me got a call from ‘MICROSOFT” telling him he had a virus and they could fix it. I pulled the plug in the computer when he told me. They called 3 times asking for the gullible one until I told them where to stick it. We had to have the computer completely wiped. BE CAREFUL AND CYNICAL! Don’t trust anyone on the phone or online who contacts you. If you get a notice, erase it then call the company yourself.
I love to watch Scammer Payback on YouTube. He hacks into their systems and gets them shut down after torturing them for a bit. My favorite was when they were doing a live and actually intercepted a call from a woman about to give thousands to these scumbags. They were able to get in touch with her before she went to the bank. The videos are great! Watching these people rage when they’ve been found out!
I recall a story where a woman was in a hotel lobby and overheard some young people making scam calls. She got called by one of them! When he gave his name, she had heard his real name and told him that she was a psychic and knew that was not his name which she told him. THEN she noticed two cops about to come into the lobby, and told him she’d do him a favor. Watch out for two men in brown! When the cops entered, the scammers took off pronto!

Don’t do it, Broomie. Don’t give out any information like that over the internet or telephone. EVER.

There might be a subtle allusion here to Bloom County’s juvenile computer hacker and his Banana computer.
