I keep getting calls from some jerk saying he is from microsoft and they have identified a serious problem with my computer.

Of course he sounds like he is speaking English as his third language.

There's a thread on this guy that you've both posted on here: http://tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217738&highlight=dial+prayer


Easily confused with this guy, but different M.O. aka a scam artist by another name.

Lawyer scam update

The alleged lawyer called me again on 10-27 and again wanted to close on the sell of my time share from the same skype number that keeps breaking up. When questioned about the upfront fees and that TUGS does not have a lawyer branch he became defensive and claimed he did not say that. He gave me his bar number and said he would never risk his licence. Once again he wanted money upfront and when told he had to wait, he was willing to. This morning I look up the bar number and called the real Mr. Richard (Dick) Waters, (called back from a ny number that is managed by OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC.. and when asked, he claimed he also practiced law in NY.) and he informed me that he knows that someone is impersonating him and that it has been reported and the authorities are looking for the con artist. On that note.......TUGS members 1.....con artist 0.

Scam Call

I received a call this morning from a person who said he was from TUG and he had a renter for the add which I have listed on TUG. The listing is for Wyndham Ocean Walk in Daytona Beach, FL. I was informed that I would need to send a money gram for the taxes and once I sent the money gram to call with the confirmation order number and then the rental paperwork and check for my rental would be sent to me.

The representatives phone number was 239-257-4960, they also called me using 941-613-9057.

They called me back tonight and when I asked the person what company they were with they advised TUG. After asking for him to give me his supervisors name so that I could call the TUG office to verify he transferred me to another person. I was then told they were with Premium Resorts and they represent TUG and a number of other sites.

I declined the offer, I was not comfortable with the information I was receiving.

as you should be, they are flat out lying scamming scumbags.

I am thankful both those numbers are in florida, they should get a fun surprise soon =)

Thanks Brain give them .

Hopefully they aren't cloned caller ID's

sadly both were magic jack numbers that have disabled incoming calls.

next time one of you gets called by these jackwagons...ask for a callback number =)

Thank you for the warning!!!
