American based ADT scam
Number:
1-866-371-7060

I got the same email with a different contact number : 1-844-607-0399
I just got a feeling straight away that it was a scam especially since I hadn't requested any information from ADT regarding alarms systems etc. and I also thought it was funny because I don't even reside in America or even close by and would never afford the crazy prices quoted in USD.
Where would they have even found my contact information and personal details really makes me wonder. Its scary that the internet has become such a scary place and even more unbelievable the ideas that scammers are coming up with these days and I feel really sorry for naive poor people that succumb to falling for the scammers tactics and loose a great deal of money especially in these already trying tough times with the coronavirus destroying honest hardworking citizens of the world who like myself have lost their jobs and security is becoming a necessity so when people who can actually afford to (or not really actually afford the offers offered in this scam) get extra security because we live in fear cos criminals are everywhere try and buy extra security to feel safer they end up being targeted and taken advantage of by cyber criminals which end up stealing their money and who knows maybe end up actually doing more than just steal their money but send in a team to install a fake security system and end up robbing you blind inside your house or even hurt you physically or end up watching you online through their cameras that they have installed and end up using that information to extort even more money from you - I know that I sound extreme or maybe have watched too many movies but I am speaking from experience where someone very close to me invested money into Bitcoin and they ended up stealing their life savings and forced them into even more debt because they threatened the persons family and actually took some ugly horrifying further unmentionable steps which turned their lives and family lives into a living nightmare so I am openly angry when I hear about this kinda crap - IT MAKES ME MAD AND EVEN MORE MAD THAT THEY GET AWAY WITH IT ON A DAILY BASIS AND REAL PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT AND NOTHING GETS DONE BECAUSE THE LOCAL EVERYDAY POLICE HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DEAL WITH CYBER CRIME WHICH IS CLEARLY ON THE RISE . Thank you for posting your experience and hopefully my response will also help another person see that this is a scam and think twice before falling to the criminals antics.
That was the link I was sent.
Funny that this same scam is still running freely 2 years since the first post about this scam was reported on this site.
Where does one go to actually report it and have it removed from the internet?
Would love it if some could offer advice because I receive these kinds offers regularly and it would be cool if someone knew where they could actually be investigated and removed permanently or even get convicted for the crimes they have committed (they wouldn't still be running this scam if it didn't work especially since it was reported 2 years ago on this site )
Does this site have any influence on getting the scammers websites removed?
Thanking you in advance for some kinda feedback - it would be much appreciated!!
Why are these scams? They just look like you signed up for an email list and you agreed to let them send you advertisements. Just unsubscribe and they’ll stop sending you. Try reading the terms and conditions before you sign up for things.
