So, I got this call at 5 AM. I thought it was someone asking for help, but it turned out to be a scammer! I mean, who even calls at that hour? Are they trying to catch me off-guard?

Of course! Scammers always think they can catch you when you're half-awake and half-dressed! It's like they can smell the desperation! 'Hello, is this Clara? I'm here to help... for a price.'

And they always sound so official! Like they went to the University of Fake Calls. Have any of you guys ever received one of those calls? Raise your hand if you felt like a star for a moment!

Absolutely! You know, once I pretended to be a scammer just to see how it feels. It felt like trying to steal candy from a baby, but the baby had a firewall!

And then there's the moment of realization when you figure it out. It's like finding out your 'support' is really just a guy eating potato chips in his mom's basement!

So remember folks, next time someone calls you at 5 AM offering tech support, just hang up and call Cowabunga Computers instead! We're here to keep you safe, one scam at a time!
