Unfortunately getting more and more of them, I know of two people that were called.
One friend called me while her husband was on the phone to them asking if it was genuine. With help desks all over the world a lot of people think it’s genuine. 110XS CSW TD5. |

I had one of these on the phone for about 15mins last week. I told him I was using a 9600baud modem and it would take at least 30min to download the teamviewer player....
I like stringing them along for as long as I can if I have time to kill.... after all, they are dialing internationally so it's costing them a mint.... 2013 Aintree Green 110 Station Wagon SX |

There is a forum dedicated to the 419 scam, and other internet based scams: https://www.419eater.com/
To say that some of the string-alongs are humorous would be fair. |

It's not costing them anything other than their time to call, maybe a local call cost at most. Power of Internet calling. |
