An Honest Scam

by Not Always Working
Home | San Jose, CA, USA

(It is fairly late, and the phone rings. My husband picks up it up.)

Husband: “Hello?”

Caller: *cheerfully, in a heavily accented voice* “Hello, this is [generic sounding American name] from customer service. Are you the person who uses the computer?”

Husband: “Okay, what’s this about? What’s the scam?”

Caller: *still cheerfully* “We steal money from people with computers!”

Husband: “…Excuse me?”

Caller: “Can we steal money from you on your computer?”

Husband: “No thanks. Have a nice evening.”

(My husband hangs up and laughs.)

Husband: “I wonder if it is it still considered a scam if the guy tells you upfront they are trying to steal your money?”
