Unless it's the swat team breaking down my door I'm not answering.
I bet this woman is still boosting the “safe and effective”
This is so sad and unfortunate ????. Hopefully this woman gets her money back. As Canadians, it's vital to know that CRA will never call you over the phone.
Even if it was the CRA . They ain't getting anything from me
@Scammers Payback please come to her rescue ?
My wife and I get so many calls that we started answering the phone by saying “Scammers Anonymous, How May we help you?” I actually heard a Indian guy start laughing before he hung up.?
You can tell how naive she is by the way she thinks the police are going to help.?
Put money in Bitcoin machine ?
One early morning I got a text message to pay my return of 450$ back to CRA. I was nearly sent the money.
Omg ????? this woman is dim. Even the scammers must have been in disbelief how far this women was going along with this nonsense
The same thing happened to me! And there is nothing you can do. Such a shame.
Hard to believe anyone can be so stupid.
?……………?
Also your uncle from Nigeria, has past and your the sole beneficiary. How can we deposit, these funds to you?………
She's south Asian herself she should've recognized Scamdip
funny part, it was probably her own kind who did it to her
She tried to keep the money by converting it.. ??
How could you be so Gullible.
Prime example of an average Canadian voter.
let that sink in
they advertising churches spying on Peoples' bring refugees in canada this Peoples' spending are own life in churches ? they don't need to learning anything
the fact that 86k was just readily available for her to withdraw is kind of mind blowing.Not even in a mutal fund? should have a t least thrown it in a mutal fund. And tellers should really ask them what they are withdrawing it for.
