    “Caller ID says the call is from 1-800-SCAM-YOU. Sounds legit.” Answers

    Having worked as a relay operator when I was younger and seeing these scams happen in real time while being powerless to do anything but facilitate the call, the truth is often way, way sadder. It’s often not stupidity, but desperation that causes them to fall for extremely obvious bullshit.
