can they not exchange numbers and get off the air, and get onto the scammers and the 'eejits' falling for them.

mojesius

Ah FFS. Going to continue after the break. Can you not just give them each others number?

I'd say the scammers need the patients of a saint with some of the lesser smart people so to speak...where's the Start button.

I trolled a scammer who had rang up my dad about the virus on his computer.


I was purposely stupid, revealing after about 20 minutes of looking for the start button that I was on a Mac(which I wasn't)



To 'pay' for his services we had to send $200 via western union to a shop in Karachi, Pakistan. So I transferred money via western union and sent him a screenshot of the receipt, but, did a little photoshop magic first. I actually only sent $2 but added a couple 0's to the reciept.



And the piece de resistance:


"Oh oops, I sent it to the wrong shop. Sorry mr tech wizard, I selected Khatra, not Karachi".



Khatra is in India and about 300 miles away.



All in all took about an hour, so he had an international phonebill for an hour, the code for a $200 transfer which is a LOT of money in Pakistan, but its 4-5 hours away. I often wonder did he go to Khatra to collect the money only to discover it was $2.

I turn him off anyway. Could kind of listen to him (RAY) on commercial radio years ago but certainly not now.

Busi_Girl08

I'm sure she means well, but I don't know what good this call is doing the poor woman. "Our family had loads of of bodies to rally around with our nanny and we got to choose her care." That's great. This lady doesn't is at her wits end and she is looking for help.

Surely that could be taken to the ASAI?! If they will ban that tampon ad they should ban Ray Darcy for that entirely false description...

shearforce

love if Joe rang in with a tale of woe, just to get in on the miseryfest

Maeve must be related to someone in RTE. It's rare they bring someone back 2 days in a row.

I'm eating a giant bar of lindt to increase my seratonin levels before the next round of callers.

But where would that line of thinking end? You could report Joe under the trade description act. "Professional radio host" my arse.

PieOhMy

I'm going to jump into the atlantic now. literally. I've been driven to that. Will listen in the car on way incase of eejits and scammers. God bless us all.

To clarify- for the purpose of a swim, not to die from suicide

Not to depress you...but....sure I am in the right thread....check the calories on one of the lindt truffle balls....it's something astounding like 75 calories for EACH one!

15 minutes for scams???? Come on!
Maybe 10 max with all these ads....

Atlantic Dawn

Scammers, wohoo, 20 minutes of pleasure.

sCAMMER aLERT!!!!!!!!!!!! thANK GOD.

Not that I'm complaining, but did she not tell Maeve before the break to stay on the line?


Oh right, an RTE colleague. :rolleyes:

gmisk

Smishing, vishing, phishing there are loads of ways people can get scammed.
Something a bit light....in fairness talk about the holocause would have been a relief after that first 50 minutes...

Again, why did she have 10k in her current account?


Speaking as an IT Security professional, spoofing text message source numbers is trivial.
