  • I just got one of those phone scam calls

    It was a 268 area code. The caller ID said Antigua/Barbuda. I didn't pick it up. Be careful. Sorry to put this in a separate thread. See phone scam thread below for more details.

    Here's where these phone scam calls are bullsh*t. The phone companies are IN ON IT. They(Verizon, ATT, etc.) are the ones who bill you for the money. They'll tell you some crap like they have to bill you because of some international treaty or some other nonsense, despite the fact they KNOW it's a scam.

    Makes you think twice about ever using a cell phone as a method of payment for anything (like the telcos want you to be able to do). At least with credit cards you can dispute charges fairly easily. Not so with phone charges.

      Haven't picked up of course. I think I'm going to let Verizon know about it, though.
