3 quick one ring consecutive calls. I work nights and I am on-call this week so the call phone must be kept on. Now I am awake and i should be sleeping. Idiot telemarketers!

"She" tells you to hang-on while she verifies your balance.
Of course you hang up while she calls the FBI !!! :)
If she's really Pi$$ed, you'll get a couple of calls back in short succession which you don't answer.
I had a fun scam call last week you might like. It was a spoofed number with a solar company offering gov't rebates to home owners. I gave them all the fakes and the address for my old apartment. We set an appointment and they were to call a ½ hour before. They called 2 days before - no message. They call again the day before - no message. I waited until 11:30 P.M. to call him back and confirm. The next morning I forgot my phone in the car, but he called 7 times. Finally he left a message saying he was standing in front of my apartment.
I almost felt sad for him...almost.
The callers are the drug-addicted "card services" scammers, who call us, pretending to be associated with our credit card companies, in an attempt to fool us into giving them our credit card numbers, so they can rip us off. People that have given their card numbers to these junkies have suffered severe financial losses. Beware of these lowlifes, and warn others, before they are cheated!
