I got approved for a credit card just yesterday and I activated it that same day just to get a phone call from some scammer congratulating on my approval of my new credit card and I needed to activate it by just giving him the credit card numbers, not only was it a scam but it was a recording asking for my information.
One of the reasons Steelhead Mickey is a CASH & CARRY kinda guy.
Like to support the LOCAL USA business if possible. If I have to purchase over the Internet, I have ONE dedicated card with a low max ($500).
As far as those scams (phone-calls) when "Phil" with his heavy New Delhi accent is "phishing" for my info - Mickey gives'm a "Jolt of Jersey Justice" - I take a deep breath & BLOW my Referee Whistle directly into the transmitter - best technical foul I ever blew...

Well you can date your cousin. You may be able to marry your 1st cousin in some states. Remember when Jerry Lee Lewis married his 1st cousin. Back then, everyone said it was sinful and his career really sunk. Nowadays anything goes.

Well, that just took a sharp left turn - from telemarketing scams to "Great Balls of Fire" from WV!

I'm with Graywulff....don't answer if I don't recognize the number, they can leave a message and I will decide if they are important enough to call back!

That's an idea. Instead of a whistle I have a trumpet in my attic. I'll get it down and practice to find the most annoying sound (loud). They won't know what is going on.
As a matter of fact, I did that to one of my Uncles. He told my Mother to wake him up for work the next morning "Now don't let me sleep". Well I heard my Mother trying to get him up. She would say "Please, please get up & it went on and on. I got my trumpet & blew it in his ear. He was furious & we didn't speak for a long time after that.

Nigerian scams true. My cousin got suckered in on that I she sent him over $30,000. NOT KIDDING! SO ANYTHING WE DO TO GET EVEN WOULD BE WELCOMED.
