Hello!
Today I'm going to tell you an unpleasant story that happened to me a few weeks ago.
Today I'm going to tell you an unpleasant story that happened to me a few weeks ago.
In a beautiful December Tuesday my phone starts ringing. Hmm, unknown number (+4915731219026) I answer and I introduce myself (that's how you do it here). He introduces himself, Jens *&^mann from Monatsblick, wants to talk to Mr. Elizai. I announce that I'm on the phone and that I'm listening.
He lets me know that I reached the final round of the game and that I have a choice to make: to continue or to give up the agreement and get 50 Euro into my account. I told him that I have no idea what he's talking about, but that I want to end my contract with them. He asked for my address and birthday to make sure that is me. Then he told me that he need my bank data and that he has enough time so I should go search for them. He'll wait. Wait a minute pal! How come you need my bank data? I cannot give you that sensitive data on the phone!
I asked him again what's his name and which company does he represent. He told me again ( but I couldn't understand the family name) and informed me that I've participated in the last two years in a game and that's why I'm in the system. What game? He doesn't know exactly because they are working with over 500 companies together and he does not possess this information.
I told him that I haven't signed anything and to leave me alone. I'm not communicating sensitive data on the phone. If he wants, he can invite me to their headquarters. Not, that's not possible, only be phone! Ok then. I've changed my mind. I would like to continue the game. Sure thing! You have to confirm it with you bank data! After 15 min of talking the connection is lost...
A few days later a new phone call. Jens from Monatsblick: I took part in a game and I have reached the final round. Keep going or give up? Sir, you called me a few days ago. I'm not communicating my data on the phone! But I haven't asked you for your data yet. But if you want to give up you have to tell them to me. I told him that I would like to come to their headquarters and solve the problem. I have time. He told me that the company is from Berlin and doesn't think it would be in my best interest. I asked for the address anyway. Kölner Str. 189, Berlin. Thank you! And the zip code? 50964. Sir, that's a zip code for Cologne. The connection is lost...
A week later I get another call. This time a lady's voice. "You've participated ...." Good day to you mam! I talked with you colleagues last week. You're not having my bank coordinates. If you want, I can come to your headquarters. In Munich? Hmm, last week it was in Berlin. The connection is lost.
During the last two weeks I've been Monatsblick-free. Maybe they got tired of me. Anyway, in comparison to other criminal mind, they are cabbage.
I wish you relaxing days,
R.C.
