Running my own business, we receive these BS scam calls all the time (especially "This is John from Medicare Services").
If I have time, I'll lead them on and play for a while (I figure more time with me, less time for them to scam the gullible). You should learn 3 words in Hindi. Gand Mara Debjit |

I would suggest Rosanne Barr singing the National Anthem.
My FIL got caught up in a few of these scams (recovering money from the State, and the FBI "we're coming to arrest you"). Luckily he called his daughter (my wife) on those occasions, and she got the stupidity cancelled. |

I tried not answering at all, even went so far as to have the line disconnected for a month, but still. they kept calling. I bought a phone set that requires callers who haven't been pre-approved to announce their name, then press pound, in order to make the phone ring. That pretty much put a stop to scammers getting through, but even now, almost a year after I quit talking to them, the calls persist. The calls still show up on the caller ID, so I know the volume of scam calls. Saturday: 4 Friday: 4 Thursday: 7 Wednesday: 12 Tuesday: 10 I am almost to the point of just dropping that phone number and starting fresh, but I'm stubborn, and I won't let the terrorists win. I can only recall a couple of times a scammer actually pressed pound, and the phone rang, but I knew anyone not giving their name to be recorded and played on the caller ID announcement was a scam. |

My father in-law was a brilliant man. Got a HS diploma at 15 and in college right after. Several engineering degree's, attorney and such The family business built the Miami Dolphins stadium among other sizable structures. He was a dedicated family man and good provider.
When we bought our home back in 97, he grilled me like a fkn steak . He passed 5 yrs ago at 93. The last 6-7 years he was losing it and was buying shit on line like Stauers and other crap. Subscriptions all over. MIL and my wife's brother had to put a stop to it. They made sure he did not go to get the mail, cancelled credit cards and the whole enchilada. Never knew wtf was going to happen next. Fortunately they put an end to it all before it went too far. |

My father was the smartest man I knew, still sharp at the end in most ways. I had to make his financial decisions the last year or so because people found ways to abuse his money, even some family members. I had one guy give him a quote to trim 1 tree and wanted $10,000 and I put a stop to it. He later said he did a little if the work and was going to sue dad for the money, I gave him my attorneys' card and told him to go ahead.
The worse part was his extended family coming up with sob stories on why they needed money. Put a stop to all that as well. People that take advantage of seniors suck. |

Best one I ever got was from IRS, told me I owed them $20K.
I told habib I agree, and knew I owed, and was ready to pay. Let him know that I worked for FBI and had long lunches, so I would just bring the payment to him in person. Phone went dead when I asked for his street address. |

I asked Big Bob for his address when he wanted to fight me, but he won't even say what country he's in.
