Good video. My mother is still being contacted and scammed. Now they have given her a friend, Lisa Oneal. She claims she’s there to help her and take care of the scammers. “They” have a most wanted list for the scammers ! Everyone please call Lisa – 509-398-0643. They are killing my mother – I am going to have to take her money away. She just can’t listen (80) years old. CALL LISA – F with her.

HOW SCAMMERS GET YOUR NUMBER:
some U.S. companies like insurance companies, phone companies or just a on-line business will hire customer service operators located in international countries like India, Nigeria, Jamaica etc. because its cheaper. So when your talking to a operator you might think they are in the U.S. They ask you for your name and number to verify your call(stand procedures). These operators will then sell your information to the local scammers for a fee….

They’ll kill for those phone lists… but are they willing to die… maybe a number suspected of scamming could be gps tracked by a predator drone so they can get a suprize package. Old lady: ” oh yess, a special packet is comming to you” scammer: Oh great, I’m soo happy, you send me all your money hehehe oh nooo ahhh //boom//

Great news segment, glad minesota are tackling this problem….
If you get a call like this put the phone down immediatley and block their number, call your phone service provider for info on this. Don’t sound scared on the phone or they will target u more…. if u put the phone down they won’t get chance to threaten u… Jamaican voice = put phone down!
It’s sad that the minority doing this will end up giving all Jamaicans a bad name just like how it’s happened in Nigeria.

the American disease of greed is how this scam works. the age old adage “of it sounds too good to be true…” I had a Nigerian price want to deposit $30 million in my bank account! should I give him my info???
PT Barnum said it best “There is a sucker born every minute”
the only reason the govt will protect is because they take 1/2 of a persons money when they die….inheritance tax. Worse than any Jamaican scammers.

violent is an understatement. My father was going to give them the money until my husband and I stepped in. They then called my husbands phone number many times threatening to kill him. The number is 876-297-3827. What is unusual is that he also got a call from a number in New Jersey (apparently it’s a LAN line). The NJ number is 973-855-3171.

I just got a call from Jamacia…claimed to be from homeland security and that I needed to “go along and send the money the sweepstake fraud wanted to release the prize”…please people don’t do anything like this! In the USA, you must never need to pay for any kind of prize you win!

Very true. But the few (although the vast 876 numbers out there don’t sound like a few) sure as hell give the rest a bad name.

Top 10 Scams and Rip-Offs
1.Scams and Rip-Offs} Acai Supplements and Other “Free” Trial Offers – Ads offering trial offers for teeth whiteners, acai anti-aging pills and other miracle supplements blanket the Internet, including trusted Web sites of national news organizations. The marketing campaigns often falsely claimed an endorsement by Oprah, Rachel Ray and Doctor Oz. Thousands of consumers complained to BBB that the free trial actually cost them as much as hundreds of dollars, month after month.

2.Scams and Rip-Offs} Stimulus/Government Grant Scams – Even before President Obama announced the stimulus plan in February, scammers had already set up schemes for misleading consumers and small business owners into thinking they could get a piece of the pie. Offers for worthless assistance and advice on how to get government grants bombarded consumers online, over the phone and via mail and e-mail.

3.Scams and Rip-Offs} Robocalls – Owning a cell phone or having their phone number on the do-not-call list did not help thousands of people across the US put a stop to harassing automated telemarketing calls in 2009. The robocalls often claimed that their auto warranty was about to expire—which wasn’t true—or offered help in reducing their interest rate on their credit card. The prevalence of robocalls violating federal telemarketing laws prompted the FTC to increase restrictions on the practice in 2009.

4.Scams and Rip-Offs} Lottery/Sweepstakes Scam – The victim receives a letter in the mail pretending to be from Reader’s Digest, Publisher’s Clearing House or a phony foreign lottery claiming that he or she has won millions. The letter comes with a check that represents only a portion of the total winnings. In order to get the rest, the victim has to deposit the check and then wire hundreds of dollars back to the scammers supposedly to cover taxes or some other bogus fee. The victim wires the money, but the prize never arrives.

5.Scams and Rip-Offs} Job Hunter Scams –Scams targeting job hunters vary and include attempts to gain access to personal information such as bank account or social security numbers and requirements to pay a fee in order to even be considered for the job. Another common scam was reported to BBB by job hunters who were told by a prospective employer that they had to check their credit report before being considered for a job. The job offer is actually a marketing ploy for online credit monitoring that costs the victim every month until they cancel.

6.Scams and Rip-Offs} Google Work from Home Scam – Countless Web sites cropped up in 2009 that claimed you could learn how to make money from home using Google or Twitter and offered a free trial of learning materials. The Web sites often included the Google or Twitter moniker and logo. As a result, many people who complained to BBB thought they were getting a job with Google or Twitter when in, fact, they were being lured into another misleading free-trial offer and were billed every month for the materials and other mystery charges that added up to hundreds of dollars.

7.Scams and Rip-Offs} Mortgage Foreclosure Rescue/Debt Assistance – Many families are struggling in the current economy and hucksters are offering to help them save their house from foreclosure or help them get out of credit card debt. Unfortunately, victims are paying hundreds of dollars up front for the assistance they desperately need but ultimately never receive.

8.Scams and Rip-Offs} Mystery Shopping – Consumers across the country thought that they could make some extra money by becoming a secret shopper and evaluating the customer service of various stores. The victim is asked to evaluate their shopping experience at a few stores as well as a money wiring service such as Western Union or MoneyGram by wiring money back to the scammers. A seemingly real looking check is supposed to cover the costs, but ends up being a fake. The victim is out hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

9.Scams and Rip-Offs} Over-Payment Scams – Over-payment scams typically target small business owners, landlords or individuals with rooms to rent and sellers on classifieds or sites like Craigslist. Typically the scammer pretends to be a customer, possible renter or interested buyer, respectively. The victim receives a check for more than the amount requested. The scammers then ask the victim to deposit the check and wire the extra amount elsewhere, such as to a shipping company. Ultimately though, the check is fake and the victim is really wiring money back to the scammers.

10.Scams and Rip-Offs} Phishing e-mails/H1N1 spam – A perennial problem, phishing e-mails pop up in inboxes and can take various forms such as appearing to be from a business, a government agency or official or even a friend. Whatever the setup, the goal of any phishing e-mail is the same: to trick victims into divulging sensitive financial information or to infect the victim’s computer with viruses and malware. In addition to phishing e-mails, spam e-mail selling wares to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus were particularly rampant in 2009.
