When they call just say (the name of your town, etc) police department. You can also say "County Morgue." You don't have to say what county or state. They don't know who your are. The calls are random, I believe. None of these people have ever called back from any of these places.
Hahaha!!! I LOVE the police department or county morgue idea!! This number has called our phone several times and I don't answer because I don't know who it is. They just called a few minutes ago and that's how I found this information! Definitely going to use one of these tactics the next time they ring my phone! :) Thought maybe International Tractor was trying to get ahold of me for some reason! HA!!! No such luck!!!
Ashley, I even used the fake name for a church and pretended to be a priest or minister.
example. St James Parish, Father Allen, etc. This could be a church in the Catholic, Luthern,or Episcopal ministry, or it could be Eastern Orthodox. It works just like the police or morgue ideas. So what if they find out your snowing them, aren't they trying to snow you? Maybe they have a way of finding out your lying to them, so what, they're lying, too.
If you really want to do it simply, just don't answer. I do this just to have a little fun with them. Ultimately, I just don't answer.
That's great!! I usually don't answer any numbers that I don't recognize, but I think I shall have a little fun with these people the next time they call!
