Not CLPA, but pure BS

[Ty Marcucci]

Hey troops, just curious, but are any of you getting 6 phone calls a day from some ass wanting to but "your property" , asking if you have benefits A and B with Medicare, asking if you remember the auto accident you

were in two years ago and is the payment still pending???  Some times I even get a call from one of my kids..   Oh, and all with Indian accents, but named James or Bill.. Then there is the smooth talking sob asking for

funds for some non existant police organization.. None of my cops ever heard of it..   Asking for a friend.

Just tell them to send a check as big as they can make it.

[Ty Marcucci]

When I say anything remotely unfavorable to them, I hear "click".

[Paul Taylor]

I get job offers all the time. I think from my LinkedIn profile. They must not read it cause it says retired on a beach somewhere. 🌴

Sumbeach!🤬

[Dan Berry]

The house buyers call and ask if I'll sell. I tell'em "certainly, everything is for sale. Make an offer"
They yap about assessing and other crap for a fair offer. It does take them a while to understand when I tell them a 'fair' offer is not in play.

On another note---- on StuntHangear there is a constant barrage of Large-Breasted Mattress Thrashers at the top of the screen. Has anyone ever met one of them?

I don't know about "Large", but there are "Double Breasted Mattress Thrashers" out there and they come up on my game channel all the time........disgusting!

Those are the Jive Combat Team camp followers. You’ll see them at the Nats.

I tell them I can't hear.  You will have to text me.

I don't waste any time doing that.  If I don't get a "click" I give them one.
I also seem to be missing out on the " Large-Breasted Mattress Thrashers".  How come I don't get them?

Turn your ad blocker off.

Then you get more BS.

[Jim Svitko]

The scammers never quit.  Always a new one showing up.  Here is a rundown of what I remember:

1.  Medicare Shipping Dept.   They want to know if I got my new card yet.  Just a phishing attempt to get your card number.

2.  Family Medical Center.  What the hell is that?  Caller said they work with Medicare to maintain records and that they lacked the name of my primary care physician.  I told him my primary care physician was Dr. Henry Jekyll.

3.  Texas Sheriffs Organization, Texas State Troopers Organization, National First Responders Organization.  All scams.

4.  Would you like to sell your house?  Sure, it is yours for $5 million.  Still want it?

5.  The new Trump administration has made available new Medicare plans....... blah, blah, blah.

6.  Orthopedic Medical Center.  Caller says "we have information that you have pain in your back and knees."  They want to sell you a $50 back brace for $1,500.

7.  Genetic Testing.  Caller says "we can screen you for risks such as cancer, stroke, etc."  I said "so can my doctor."

8.  Your recent purchase (Apple, Amazon, etc.)  Caller (a bot) says we are billing your account the amount of $839.  If you did not make this purchase, please call.

9.  You are eligible to get a tax refund (or credit).  Caller is a bot, of course, and says to call the following number to speak to an agent.

Add in the scam emails which are too numerous to mention.

I assume everything is a scam unless I can prove otherwise.

My response is "Did I call you or did you call me?" ------- "If I want something I will call you"====CLICK

I started screening all calls and not answering any I don't recognize. In about a week the calls lessened a bunch. The answering machine records anybody important.

[Rusty]

Do you guys have your phone programmed to block robo and spam calls?

i am down to a handful using the same method.  I also used the "play along" method to keep them on the phone.  They hate that.

   I am a rarity compared to some these days, in that I still have my land line. I have had that phone number going on 50 years and just HATE the idea of not having it!! My wife only recently got a cell phone, so if I wasn't home, she needed a way to call police of fire departments if needed. She has one now, but I still don't want top part with it. I used to be listed in the regular phone book also and have been getting sales calls for many years. With caller ID, I can see the number or even the person calling and if I don't recognize it, I just don't answer. If it's anything important, they can leave a voice mail and I'll return the call. I like to have some fun with them sometimes, when I did get sales calls. Especially carpet cleaning companies. After they gave their speech, I would ask, "Can you get blood out?" and they would say "Of course we can!" enthusiastically! Then I would ask further, " A LOT of blood?" That was usually followed by the sound of them hanging up!!  I used to get a lot  of sales calls from the local newspaper selling subscriptions and they would always call at dinner time. I gave the lady an earful once, telling here that I had been subscribing to the paper for "X" number of years, and in this day and age of computers, you would think that you could weed out the people that already subscribe and not disturb us at dinner time !!! Then I told her that if I got ONE more sales call from them, I would cancel my subscription!! And I never got another call from them after that!

Y'all sound like a bunch of Grumpy Old Men, so count me in! 

I tried to talk the cheese 'n kisses into getting rid of our landline for 10-15 years, but she wouldn't. Finally, the phone quit working, and the crackerjack phone company missed FIVE appointments to fix it over the course of several months, and she agreed to fire them. But she seldom carries her cell phone around the house and I won't answer it for her.

Got a phone call once, a weepy pathetic sounding young fella calling me "Grampa". He said he was on the E. Coast and needed money as he was in a car accident, damaged his car, and was in jail. I led him on for awhile, chastized him for his bad driving habits, asked how bad the car was damaged, what he ran into, etc. Finally told him he must have the wrong number, because I don't have a grandson. LMFAO    Steve

You guys and the large mattress smashers are a joke.  Dad asked me one time, " How do you tell a city boy from the country boy?".  I told I didn't know at the time.  He then stated a city boy will start at the face and go down towards the feet.   The country boy starts at the fett and goes up.  Reason is they must have good strong legs for doing the farm work.
