Not quite....I think we're ALL aware how ATMs work but I bet few have a clue what Google Voice is! It's comes off more like the guy sending you HIS PIN and you just text it back....what could be the harm?! Point is GV is totally unnecessary. If you have a modern cellphone and internet connection you can easily set up wifi calling safe and securely via your phone provider. The way it works is the scammer shows serious interest in an item you're selling on CL. They will ask the right questions and says they want it and will meet AFTER they make sure you're legit and will text you a number and please text that number back to him. Seems very innocent! How could texting a number back to someone get you in any trouble?! This isn't a secret number you have for ATMs or other secure purposes in fact it appears like the scammer initiated it! Let's concede you're smarter than this but recall how stupid the average American is and then realize half are dumber than that! As we age and are tired or stressed we become more susceptible to confidence schemes. I think ALL victims of such crimes see the obvious scam in retrospect but acknowledge how easy it is to fall for.... -
Used the words in the title to search and got a lot of info about Vehicle's but none about the topic I was looking for. Maybe should have put all in quotes, eh? Anyway, reading the forum and insurance renewals I contacted the person suggested by a few in Florida. I have commented on that post how it's gone so far. I decided I needed to find the exact day I'd loose insurance if I chose to go with a new company and also to inquire why I'd had such a raise in premiums. I'd forgotten I am still paying insurance on Two Trucks. Out of sight out of mind I guess. I got a very pleasant person on the phone who was pretty helpful. I still hadn't received my actual bill, but now know it will come in two days and I know the exact day in which I need to call with a CC number to do a renewal if I don't change policies. But what I found out also is something I wish I'd thought to ask MANY MANY years ago. Instead of not insuring completely the old Truck I decided to inquire on "Storage" insurance. Covers Comp and Theft. Then I had the wild idea of if I can put that truck in "Storage" Why not the other one too and only have full insurance during the time it's actually on the road and the agent said fine, just call us and let us know when it's in storage and when it's on the road. I think I remember my parents doing a similar thing "on the Farm" with grain hauling trucks that were used only once a year. Don't know why I'd never thought of it for my HDT that really only gets used a couple times a year. (Or Did). With my Semi Retirement I may move around more often. Of course the agent couldn't tell me how much the premium would differ and maybe it wouldn't be worth it. Especially if one forgot to take a vehicle out of storage and got in an accident the one day it was driven. Anyone do such a thing? Rod -

Thanks for the update, is this on a Land Line or Cell phone for you? Before she passed, my Mom would get all kinds of calls on her "Land Line", so many in fact if if the Caller ID didn't say a name that she recognized she would let the answering machine take the calls. She would then sometimes play them for me if they happened to leave a message. Most of them didn't. So far I've not encountered many fraudulent calls. I don't answer my phone if one of my contacts doesn't show up on the screen most of the time, but with my recent change in phone numbers. I have had to answer at times if I've left a message for a return call and don't remember to enter the contact into the list. I also make sure I don't use the word "Yes" very often and will expand that to other affirmative words in the future turning it into a Question instead of an answer. Rod

The scammers just clone a phone number to match your area code to make it look that way. One nice feature of cell phones is that we still have the area code where we were when we got our phones but no longer know or do business with anyone in that area code so that makes a sure sign that we don't want the call.
