Got a call today from 647 430 8728 - when I answered it all I heard was my own voice saying hello. Hung up.
Don't these idiots have better things to do than to not even say anything? Gah. Added it to my blocked callers list, which has at least 20 in it now.
Why call on 5:45 PM on a Saturday evening on May 24, 2014?. Do they really think that I am going to answer a call from this number???? Quite likely a scammer. Not answering anytime soon, creeps!!
Got a call once from an E. Indian fellow telling me my computer was full of viruses and he could fix it. Too funny. Asked him how he would possibly know that (just asked for fun), and he went on and on, hemming and hawing about how they have special programs to determine this... So I told him I'd just done all the service work and cleaning and virus checks on mine, plus it has a very good virus protector and a very good registry cleaning program etc etc. Wanted to know what he'd say. "Oh no...no...these are viruses you cannot find easliy". So I laughed and asked him if he was intending on askeg me for my info on how to allow him access to my computer, or ask me for my Visa or banking info blah blah. He went on and on about how he could fix all the viruses on my computer. I had some time, so I wanted to have a bit of fun. I told him I knew he likely needed a job, but that he should find one that was respectable and one that didn't try to scam people out of their hard earned money or ruin them by accessing their bank accounts, and I said shame on you. He got mad and told me I was being rude. Hah! I said - Real rudeness is trying to scam people, so get lost, get a respectable job, and maybe find out a way to fix all the viruses embedded in LOSER PEOPLE who try to scam others over the phone. Made my day . heh. He was really mad. Tough.
I asked them if they understood what the Do Not Call list was and first they told me that no, they did not and then they tried to say that the DNC list was a list of numbers that it was legal for anyone in the world to call.
