I’m gonna be rich, Rich RICH!

[Dead Eye Dick]

Just this morning alone I received notices that I am due a $3590.76 refund for an overpayment on auto insurance, a$3198.19 for an overpayment from health insurance and a 3618.43 for an overpayment by Visa. That’s over 10K today. If these refunds keep coming in, I’m gonna have the home of my dreams and all the trimmings.

That’s over 10K today. These refunds just keep coming in, I’m gonna have that multi-million dollar mansion on the bay at Ft. Walton Beach near our son’s home, that 40+ foot sailboat I’ve always dreamed of and a bevy of C-8 Corvettes in the garage.(one for every day of the week).And a Bell Jet Ranger Helicopter to fly me from my mansion to Altus.

Smoking? these refund emails have been coming in for a couple of weeks now. Most feature a $3618.43 refund from various entities. Next is the $3590.76 refund, again from different companies/agencies. My favorite was today. A refund for a VISA Credit Card. I don’t own a credit card.

its such a poorly thought out scam, its not even funny anymore. At least my email program started putting them in the scam box.

Brenda and I both seem to believe, that subscribing to such dribble will assure a draining of OUR bank account.

Nope, I think our current man in the White House has got the warlord squared away. At least satisfied with OUR MONEY

Been getting NTSB Recall Warrantee Work offers - "Hurry Today" - which don't seem to be listed on the MFG site or NTSB, or anywhere else for that matter.

So… you’re saying you got your own money back and enjoy giving large corporations interest-free loans?

They work one of two ways:

A: It would just be an old fashioned "call this number" or "reply to this email if you want your refund". And the greedy and foolish would then be prompted to give their bank account info to the other party and told to "wait a few hours to few days for the funds to come in"... And really nasty surprise ensues.

B: A little more malicious and sophisticated, where the email contains an innocent, official looking or camouflaged link somewhere in there and if you click on it, it will automatically install malware, a Trojan, or ransomware on your computer. Do NOT click anywhere on the text body of these emails. Delete them.

Surely you jest. Get my own money back. the folks bringing on that scam, have never to my knowlege gotten one penny of my money. Like I said earlier, one of the refunds is from a Visa Credit Card. I don’t own a credit card, ANY Credit Card. And they keep repeating the same refunds regardless of company or entity that owes the refund. Far more of a coincident that a Credit Card company and an Hospital and an insurance company would have all three over charged me the exact same amount of $3618.43. Been seeing these scam emails for a few weeks now and the most quoted over payment, regardless of who from is $3618.43. Several companies owe me a refund of exactly $3590.76. Amazing the coincident, right?

Been seeing a lot of these lately. Mostly from a company that claims to be Yahoo. Now, two emails from an entity that claims to be the USPS. Brenda got those as well. Even encompasses the first part of the United States Postal Service Internet address and then has an add-on. Can’t imagine how they get away with that.

They must think I’m pretty stupid. However, our son says I am one of the most cynical and suspicious persons he knows.

I look long and hard before I answer any and everything. That includes my phone. If it’s important. Please leave a message, if it’s not, GO AWAY! (Brenda would not let me add the last part.).

I would get calls on my phone from someone asking if I was still listing my home for sale. It is not listed.

I would tell them the selling price is $1M.

They would ask if that is what I listed it for.

"No, it is not listed. But if you want to buy it, then the price is one million dollars."

This happened about 3 times and then they stopped calling.
