I once had a phisher trying to get me to come to an industrial district at night to pick up my prize: I asked him to call me at my home number, not my work one, and gave him the number of the fraud squad. He called it! Phishing works, but what one catches can be A Bad Thing. --dave On 28/11/15 08:13 PM, D. Hugh Redelmeier wrote:

Yeah.
I got a phone call yesterday from "my oldest nephew". They hung up when I awkwardly asked "who?".
Today I got one from "my grandson". They asked if I could hear them and I said "maybe". Then they hung up.
Phishing apparently works. --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
