A Scam that I almost fell for:

About 2 years ago I come home one night and I go and check my answering machine for new messages, I listen to the following message:

"Hey whats up Mike, it's me Richard I was hoping you would pick up the phone because I hate leaving confidential information on answering machines, but im at the airport leaving to China for business and thats one long flight, tomorrow is the day to buy the company we spoke about they have some major news they are about to release, I ask you not to tell any of your friends because it can get us all into trouble as a reminder the ticker symbol is... buy in confidence as many shares as you can, i'll call you once im in China.

Now I hear this message it did sound like he is in an Airport and he was caughing etc. making it sound like its a real message but I am not Mike, so im sitting at home all excited that I just got some serious stock tip simply by someone making a wrong number.

A few hours later a friend that knows nothing about the stock market calls me all excited, he tells me someone just fucked up and left him a confidential stock tip on his voice mail and hes going on and on how he knows a guy that became a millionaire from one stock tip blah blah blah.

I calm him down saying it's bullshit the message he got and I play him the message I got and they are exactly the same!

The guy def. got some fish because the next day the stock really went up, today that company is not anywhere on the stock market.

But he used one of those autodialers I guess to call tons of people with a pre-recorded message that sounded pretty real.
