Woman answered. I said "Is this a contractor call or student loan? Those are the scams of the week." She acted confused and then called me by name and said this was the Home Center and she had spoken to me last year about doing contracting work for me. Duh! I told her I was a contractor and would never have spoken to her about contracting work since I can do it myself. Then I told her that they had mistakenly thought that since I was a senior, I wouldn't remember in any case and fall for the scam.

Unfortunately, as a civil person I initially talked with these a**holes not knowing they were scamsters. They call relentlessly now. At least 16 calls ( i did not pick up the phone) from noon yesterday with 3 calls this am starting at 8:30am. AT&T Uverse allows me to block only 6 numbers at a time, .....for a fee. Unfortunately, need an unlimited number of blocks to cancel out these fools that just change numbers and keep calling. I resent having to pay to block crooks from calling me.
