Husband answered, said they were calling about SS benefits, can you hear me? He hung up on them. this is the latest scam going around Blowing a whistle in their ear has become my method of defense against these a holes. I tried the "push 3 if you want to be left alone" route and that was useless. Then I asked one guy what I had to do to make them stop calling, he said " shut up [***]" and hung up.....so, I have 20 plastic whistles all over the house & work for such occasions. Cost was maybe $10, well worth it!
