    A lot of times it’s a call to see who is there and if it’s a real number. Someone who answers a random call is someone who the Indian tech support scammers can take a crack at.

    Younger folks will just send a text.

      The scammers are doing that with texts now too

      I don’t even respond to or open texts from numbers I don’t know/aren’t expecting

      It’s it’s real/important they’ll leave a message or send a letter

        I like occasionally going through all the ridiculous right wing campaign ads, just to see what they’re falling for lol
