Kept getting calls from some Indian from out of the country and he keeps leaving this message on my voice mail. "We would like you or your legal representative to call us back so we can discuss 3 lawsuits that are about to be filed against your social security number." The caller says he's Matt White, obviously a fictitious name. I knew it was a scam and told the guy so when I called back.

But I reached my boiling point with these calls when the guy calls my office and tells them I;m going to have lawsuits against me. Fortunately, the woman who answered the phone knew that it was totally illegal for someone to give out this information and told the person exactly that. He said she could call the F.C.C. if she didn't like it.

When I told a friend of mine about it, he said that one of the TV stations had an expose on this scam and that they tried to get money from you saying you had some lawsuits against you that they could clear up before they get filed. I don't know what kind of person would fall for that, but it sure wasn't going to be me.

Wow. That video is unreal. I can't believe people are stupid enough to pay it. If you don't know who and how much money you owe, it's time to sit down and do some re-evaluating of your life! Get your shit together! Anyone calls me looking for money they will get told to "go get fucked!"

Old people fall for anything. You know the funny thing is you think it won't happen to you or your loved ones but I've seen my own parents fall for similar shit. I guess it's just part of getting old, people become dopey.

These scams are pretty advanced now and because they use computer software to generate numbers to appear on your caller i,d, they're impossible to block. I've had it recently with a similar thing and as soon as I block one number they're back with another. The weird thing is, sometimes they don't even give me time to answer, it's pretty frustrating.

It's true. Old people fall for this kinda shit, nigerian scams etc often. Obviously these things work or all these people wouldn't keep doing it. Some of these guys get rich and never get caught. Sons of bitches.
