Sneaky Scammers
I just got scammed and spammed by a fake unemployment claim website!
It’s bad enough so many people are losing their jobs, do these assholes REALLY need to add to the insult of being laid off?
I started to register on a legit-looking site, but stopped when I started getting pop-ups enticing me to buy instructional books for ONLY $1.99!!!
Shadyyyy
Unfortunately, I had already given them my phone number. So at 9am this morning, I got a phone call.
Me: Hello?
Annoying Girl: HELLO?
Me: Yea, Hello?
Annoying Girl: Can I um, speak to uhhh, Jessica?
Me: This is Jessica
Long Pause
Annoying Girl: CAN I SPEAK TO JESSICA?!
Me: YES, this is Jessica, who is this?
Annoying Girl: This is (blah blah blah from made-up place trying to steal your money), I’m here to tell you how to make money on Ebay!
Me: Seriously? Not interested, don’t call me.
Spammers should be shot.
Lesson learned: always Wiki how-to anything you ever have to know, and only use this site for claiming unemployment: http://www.labor.state.ny.us/ui/how_to_file_claim.shtm
