Text Messaging Used To Scam The Unemployed

Seriously folks, there are some really messed up people in this world, and they should be hunted down and whacked. The more I hear about scammers taking people’s hard earned money, especially during hard times, the more I think the Koran is right, and when they’re caught, they should have their hands cut off. (I’m all for the Chinese method of shooting them in the head and billing the families for the bullet, but I’m sure I’d have a hard time getting that law through Congress, considering they’d be passing a law against themselves… (Whoa Nelly…, reign it in before you lose all your readers in one fell swoop!)) LOL

There’s a text messaging scam going on in Ohio right now, that is going after people’s unemployment benefits.

“The fraudulent messages inform recipients that their unemployment benefits have been suspended and to call the provided phone number to reactivate. When recipients call, they are asked for personal information, including debit card numbers and personal identification numbers (PIN). At that point, unemployment benefits deposited on the debit card are accessed and withdrawn by the scam artist.”
