    I hate those that try to run these scams. I got an email the other day that said my paypal account had been set up with a $799 and $499 recurring monthly payment for bitcoin and I needed to contact them ASAP. I deleted the email but just for grins checked my paypal account and there was nothing pending or charged.

    You need the real trifecta, until you have also gotten the call that your social security number has been used and is being suspended in the same day...

    I don't get these calls on my mobile phones but sure do the land line. Maybe I get rid of it. Seems only the robo cranks know the number.

I kinda want an Ipad so I just hung up.

    Not 10 minutes later I got a call from the Legal Division of the Federal Reserve. It sounded like the same woman who had called me about my Amazon account. She told me that a warrant had been issued in my name for service by the Federal Reserve and if I wanted to avoid potential jail time I should Press 1. Since I'm not going to have any money after my account gets wiped out by the Amazon scram I decided jail was a good way to get 3 squares a day so I just hung up.

    It's been real guys.

    You da man! Doubt I could of handled it as well.....but I've got to admit to free meals, free healthcare, no more 106 mile plus a day round trips for work at my age is starting to look pretty darn good. Finally I could start that exercise program that I've been meaning to get to over the past 25 years.

    Can we start a Go Fund Me Account for your Bail when the Feds lock you up and to start a Legal Defense Fund?

    Well at least you are in good standing on the BBC and won't be getting a call but then considering some of the characters you hang around with here that probably aroused the suspicion of the Feds merely by association.

    They are probably going to try and squeeze you for information then testify against some of us for a plea bargain so stay strong until we can figure out how to get you out of the lockup.

    I guess you don't have to worry about renewing the cars extended warranty now. I get those calls at least 4 times a week.

    10 Bucks in pretty impressive I'd be honored if they asked me for a fraction of that.

    Sorry for you man.. it’s gonna be alright man, trust me. But, in the meantime things can get rough in those places but after awhile you’ll be numb to it all!

    Good luck, Dave
