Yesterday, I had 32 chat requests. Many of them from 'ladies' who have sent them to me before, and I have cancelled them before.
Two of the 'ladies' made multiple attempts to 'chat' with me.
Some of these 'ladies' have sent me a request at least once a day for three weeks. Don't you think there
is something wrong here?
I wouldn't be surprised if one or more agencies have an automatic system for generating 'chat' requests and that the lady in question is unaware that the multiple requests have been sent.
Please explain to me why I got 7 requests from one person yesterday, who had never previously exchanged correspondence with me?
Add to that the fact that she doesn't speak any English according to her profile......................
What do you all think about this rip off system?
Because the person you are talking to is likely to be an interpreter, they have targets set by their agency, they have to send out x amount of letters and x amount of chat requests and x amount of time in chat to make their money, they are not on a salary and on a comission. You are of no interest to them and you are no more than a pay day. But yes certainly they probably look at sending invites as a percentage might answer and then its job done.
My home phone is on a register whereas such callers are not allowed to call me however I keep receiving calls from an Indian call centre asking if I am a Mr. Evans which I am not, I'd give then a two word response connected with sex and travel before replacing the receiver.
Eventually reporting this to my telephone provider they tried to bullsh1t me that these couldn't possibly be sales calls so last week I decided to play along with the caller, first of all (by the delay in her commencing conversation it was apparent a computer had called my number) she asked if I was Mr Evans, I replied "yes" and then she explained to me that they were receiving multiple error messages from my computer to which I replied "this cannot be happening", she told me that she can show me these error messages, I asked "how" and she explained that I need to go to a certain website, I asked "How am I going to do that, I don't have a computer?" ..... after a slight pause the line went dead :)
My telephone provider thereafter agreed to change my number!
Ivor, those calls have hit NZ like a storm, seems its a set of people trying to get people to install trogans or something similar onto there PC's.
was at my ex's mums place other day and she complained of such calls,, she's a typical British women and always answers her calls to the end.
but anyway, funny enough that moment i was there she got one, so now she's in training to put receiver down on these, so against her grain its funny.
i'm told if you take one you are put into some kind of data bank automaticly for all these dick heads to try ya, seems true for her..
Mike, from what i understand russians were the leaders in scamming dodgy software or anything in the likes to gain something..
I couldn't figure if it was going to be a monetary demand to remove a supposed problem from my PC or perhaps to infect, after a number of such calls and the more I think about it it seemed they particularly wanted me to visit a site and undoubtably for the reason, or similar, that you say.
If anyone does fall for this hoax and vist the site and/or become infected then they should be able to resolve it by rebooting into 'safe mode', multiple clicking of 'F8' on reboot achieves this on most PC's, then perform a 'system restore' back to a date/time before the PC became infected i.e. 'yesterday'.
