Gotta love the phone
« on: 12/10/14 12:25 UTC »
I spent a nice while this morning yacking with an old friend. During the time we talked I got the burp that told me someone was trying to horn in on the conversation and just let it pass. When we finished talking I cleared the phone and checked the missed calls since Ma is out shopping. It wasn't a number I know so I let is go. A short time later the same number called and this time was answered by some chicka that speaks worse English than American born new-born.

She made some reference to my computer and orders made recently from it and wanted a full list of my credit cards used in those transactions. Ya, right. I hung up. 5 minutes later I see the same caller Id and number so when I answered this time I simply said...."Hello. You have reached the offices of the FBI. "...The call got that far before the click came. I haven't made an on-line purchase in quite a while so "recent" hasn't happened. I'd love to be able to get the address of these jerk-off callers, not so much for law enforcement as to pay a personal visit. Man I hate these people.

A lot of those calls come in from out of the country. Nothing the government can do about it. It's a crazy world out there!
