re: #36 Anymouse 🌹🎃

I’m getting really tired of my telephone ringing today (one of the reasons we own an answering machine).

“We have information on how to pay off your home loan” (we don’t have a home loan)
“We have the information you requested to pay off your student loan” (lol)
“We have the information you requested about your Social Security account” (we’re not old enough).
“You’re in arrears on your Federal Income Tax. We can help you avoid tax court.” (I haven’t had to pay Federal Income Tax or even file since 1996.)

If we reported every scam call around here to the sheriff, the sheriff would block our telephone number.

We don’t answer numbers we don’t recognize. That almost got me in trouble when we got our roof reshingled because Allstate uses people who work from home to handle claims. We didn’t recognize the numbers so we didn’t really know to pick up.
