Charities... Unsolicited calls from who knows who... who know you but don't have your name. Wanting CC info for their so called charity. Got one yesterday from a financial advisor. This guy knew nothing and wanted me to give a routing number of the bank account over the phone to invest. What an idiot. Be careful out there.

    Did you tell him you made your money working hard and investing it, all while he was only 8 years old?? LOL.

    Yeah, spamm calls are picking up here too both on home phone and the cell phones.

    Got one the other day, supposedly a political call, and they wanted me to give them a CC number for a donation. I wonder how successful they are because this caller barely spoke English and wouldn't tell me where he was calling from. I normally don't answer unless I recognize the number but they had spoofed a local number on the caller I.D. I thought our wonderful government was going to do something about all this spam call crap. They made a big deal about it a few years ago but I guess they were just as successful with this as they are with all of their other promises.🙄

    I did tell the caller that he should run for office wherever he was from because he had a real good line of B.S. just like a politician should. Bob

    I figure if I can keep them on the line for a couple of minutes.. get a good laugh.. they haven't bothered someone else.
