"Leads, yeah sure. I'll uh, just check with the boys down at the Crime Lab. They uh, got uh, four more detectives working on the case. They've got us working in shifts."

Jesus....

Sounds like something an elderly person would fall for.  No offense.

This is the IRS! Call us immediately or we will be forced to arrest you for back taxes owed.

Not related to the car posting scam, but figured I'd to post somewhere:

While I was out of town, my wife was using the home computer and a "VIRUS DETECTED!" screen came up.  The screen said that it was a note from Microsoft virus protection services (or whatever) and that she needed to call them IMMEDIATELY in order to save the computer. 

Of course, she called the number, and then gave the person at the end of the line remote access to the computer so he could go in and "fix" the bug.  Oh, and she gave him her credit card number because it was $99 (or whatever) for the services they were providing.

So, my wife paid someone $99 so that they could hack into our computer.  It's a computer I never use, so I also didn't know that she had a Word document on the desktop named "passwords" that has four pages of . . . you guessed it, passwords.  Bank accounts, financial info, the works.

As she was watching the person use the mouse to violate our hard drive, something struck her that maybe this wasn't a good idea.  So she unplugged the computer and called her brother that works for Google to ask him about it.  He apparently yelled at her so much he made her cry.

I think I might have married @bostonfred's wife's long lost sister. 

I go to my parent's house a few times a year and on one occasion, my dad was on the phone with one of these scammers.   I'm scared to think how often this happens.

You probably did, but it's too important to assume. Did you contract the cc company?

Yeah. Cancelled card and ordered a new one.  And the bank (froze all activity), and a my retirement account, and a handful of other things.  So super annoying.

This was probably asked or pointed out already but.... how would your GF hit the bumper of a parked car? Seems much more likely the note leaver hit someone and is trying to get it covered for free, if it isn't a total scam as I linked to earlier.

 

[comfortably numb]

Post the number here

 

[comfortably numb]

If the number is a scam where when you call you get charged...sign that number up for a bunch of telemarketers. 

Win/win?

This reminds me of the story where a family had their grill stollen. After a day it was returned with a note attached along with enough tickets to a sporting event for the whole family. It read sorry for taking this grill please use these tickets as an apology. When the family returned from the game their house robbed.

When the family came home, they discovered that everything had been stolen except their toothbrushes and an old camera. They continued to use the toothbrushes and took the film in to get developed. To their horror the photos showed the burglars sticking the toothbrushes in their rectums!
