True much of the time. And there is honor in honest labor. But then again there are those calls to fix your computer, or lower your interest rate.
The fix-your-computer folks will freeze your computer if you give them access to it. Then they'll ask for hundreds of dollars to unfreeze it. And the lower-your-interst-rate folks just want to steal your credit card info.
Those types of callers must know what they're doing is wrong. They must know they are facilitating a scam. And that makes them criminals.
I don’t talk to them long enough to find out. A quick “no thanks” and hang up the second I find out it’s any kind of business call.
