I love answering my phone !!!

It is a well known fact that I love spam, especially bank scam spam. I have a new appreciation for phone scams now too. I think I had the best one yesterday.

A number I didn't know came up on my phone. It was a local number, so it could have been one of the kids calling from wherever so I answered it.

I got this fast talking guy from some "travel agency" who told me that I had accumulated a lot of "travel miles". There must be a chip in my car ...

I let him spew for a moment and then asked him a simple question ... "What is my name?" He stopped for a moment so I asked him again "What is my name?"

He hung up on me, I don't think he loves me anymore.

Remind me later to tell you about "Steve".

Yeah, me too.

I get annoyed by those calls. I get few enough calls that I can always tell 'em. They start with this fake, overly-cheerful tone and ask me how I am today. When I say, "I'm fine. Is this a sales call?" They usually stutter but the last one said, "Well, it's more of a promotion." DINGDINGDING. I told him, "Sorry, this is a business phone. Take me off your list." My fault for clicking on that link that a friend sent me. Silly me.
