This is an excellent article. As a senior I must confess I almost fell for a warning from Microsoft that my bank account was jeopardized. The man worked on me for three hours until I was exhausted. My husband arrived home in time to prevent me from doing something stupid. You will be in my prayers as you face the big C again.

I have been scammed once, and it was dealing with law enforcement in Texas. I even got the FBI involved. It was a mess for awhile. Thank you for sharing this. Have a great Sunday. Shirley

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your info was well presented with vital facts and examples,
Brett. It's sad to say, though, that this practice will continue
forever it seems. If one is taken down, how many others will
spring up. However being knowledgeable about the potential
for scammers never ceases. Thank you for the information.
I will keep you in my prayers for your health issues, Jan

Comment from Ulla
Hi Brett, at least we don't have that kind of thing here in Spain. At least not that I know of. I've never heard of anyone having that sort of call. I doubt it would work here anyway, as we we would be a bit suspicious about such a request on the phone.
I'm sorry to hear about your cancer getting worse. I will be looking forward to seeing you back. Ulla:)))

I will pray for your recovery from these. Thank you for sharing this with us. I had a friend who would continue to play the lottery, A LOT, even though the money wasn't available to play it. This person would write checks on next month's social security, the only income. So was always behind. This person would never understand the loss of money, always knew they'd hit the big one. NEVER did.

Thanks for the heads up on scammers. They have scammed me a few times already, but even slow learners like me catch on eventually. I hope it won't be long before you'll be back to full force on Fanstory. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Sankey
This was a great post, dear bro. Thanks for the heads up and maybe even some Fanstorians will benefit. Praying for the tumour issues. They seem to want a lot more in reviews these days.

Hello Brett,
I had no idea that you were dealing with cancer. I'm sorry to hear that. I'll certainly keep you in my prayers. That being said, you've done the reading audience a great favor by pointing out these scams. I think it will probably be as you've warned, it will only get worse with A I to assist them in their schemes. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope that your surgery goes well.
God bless and keep you.
Tom

I'm giving you five stars for the writing which was very well done and informative. There's an old term for phone scams. Bunco.
The final star I offer as a wishing Star in the hopes that it will offer comfort.
