Telling them do not call is no help. They never stop talking over ya. Gotta get a whistle!
I just been taking my banjo and Strumming as hard as I can which hurts my ears so I can only imagine what it does to them. I guess that's a jolt of Carolina Justice.. however I do know a girl named Justice in Tennessee and she is 10 out of 10 for looks, So I guess a jolt of Tennessee justice is different from Carolina and Jersey.

Hey Eastern, I laughed the whole time. Those jokers think they're talking to fools. I never thought of turning the tables on them like that. It's misserable out right now so I might give it a try - sounds like a hoot!!!! Thanks.

I try to give each one that calls an equal amount of time until they see fit to hang up.
Frustrated as they may be, when the wife is home and I do things on speaker phone she can hardly contain herself.
It is their call so I just use as much of their time as possible.

Get ‘em all the time by phone message, email and text. Had one recorded scam saying that $299 would be charged for my computer service in four hours. If I wanted to cancel it I’d have to call their number. About an hour ago I got the same recording but now it said two hours.
Oooh, color me worried!

Know what you mean Jim. Awhile back had a so called Microsoft guy tell me $499 or else they were going to shut me down from Micro. They are out there in all forms. A H's

Back before I was Eighteen, I Picked it up, they asked what my name was and I kinda wanted to see where he was going so I told him, And he said that I owed to IRS $20,000 in credit card debt and I needed to pay him now. But here's the Deal I wasn't an adult, and I didn't have a credit card, So I called him some things, I won't go into detail, let's just say I kept it clean, and hung up. Man I must have really got to him They forgave $20,000 dollars of debt!

Soon as he heard your name, shaking in his underwear sitting in his condo trying to make a buck. Nice going.

He aint called back, by his accent He probably didn't fully know English, let alone Southern English

I can't please 1 woman what would I do with 99 more. My fishing would likely suffer & I can't have that. I hate those scammers. I have a 24 volt trolling motor I don't need & advertised it on craigslist. I had so many scammers contacting me I took my add off line. Extended auto warranty & student loan telephone solicitors are also on my "wish i could take you hunting list".

I like the extended warranty they get sassy when you ask them what kind of vehicle they are calling about.

See how long it takes those extended warranty solicitors to hang up after you tell them you're blind & don't have a vehicle.

Last fall a friend & i drove to upstate New York to visit my son. My friend gets far more solicitor calls than i do & we decided to see just how long we could keep those idiots on the line. For 2 days our source of entrainment was those calls. We knew 1st off to never use the word "yes". We would ask a million questions. Some of those people would work with us for over 10 to 15 minutes then just hang up. That lake ontario & the st Lawrence river is really beautiful but i wouldn't live there for all the money in Dallas.

My get around truck is a toyota tundra 2005 year with 279k & I still get calls. Oh yeah, I bought that toyota new & it came with free lifetime oil changes. I figure in about another couple hundred thousand miles I'll about have my money's worth. That old truck has been a good one.
