That Tech Guy

I just got a call from a scam, claiming to be the Federal Trade Commission about a "prize" I won from Publisher's clearing house. Saying I won 8.5 million. I was unaware the FTC has an office in Jamaica. He said it was Jamaica NY. Trust me, it's not. I kept him on the line for 20 minutes confusing the hell out of him. Also, the FTC doesn't operate outside the US. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

This is actually a common scam. It's actually been around for decades this is just a new platform.
