Well, the same scammer tried again today calling from the same phone number which is listed as a known scam phone number.

It was the same woman calling.

She started in with the same line, this is Consumer Debt Systems and are calling about a debt you owe.

I said there is no debt and you are a scammer calling from a known scam phone number.

She says I don't know where you get your data but this is not a scam number.

I said Yes it is and hung up.

I wonder if they'll try again next week.

I was headed north as I didn't go back that way when I went home. Don't remember the s curves, they hit me for 66... The lowest number for which one gets bent over in that scam...
Wife sent a check (had to go to Massachusetts? Which makes even less sense since I have NEVER been there) and it's already cleared the bank and my wife said we got a "2nd notice" to pay the other day... Iowa? Massachusetts? Where are they really from and W T F does my money sent for this really go for/do? What happens if one doesn't pay?
Fark them..

Years ago I got a ticket supposedly from Skokie Il for overtime parking. I've blown through there on I-94, but never stopped there. Sent the letter back, and didn't send any money either.

I think the company in Massachusetts supplies the cameras and gets a cut of the fines...

This is a new scam in bigger cities. Fake parking ticket is put on your car, you find it and it looks official. You know you shouldn't have the ticket, but if it's paid in 24 hours the fine is only $3, goes to $30 after 24 hours, then up from there. You figure [censored], it's easier to pay $3 than fight it, and happily scan the QR code, go to their website, and give them your credit card and all of the info they need to max it out.

Heard a different one this week, in regards to the Detroit Auto Show: instead of giving out thousands of $$ worth of brochures, they put a QR code on the display, and you can get all of the information. Scammers are printing their own QR code stickers, putting them over the ones on the display, and when you scan it and go to the site, it steals all of the info from your phone.
