Problem phone callers....

[benenglish]

Tell them ,I get to ride in a police car tomorrow , then say they , say if I tell them where I hid the bodies , I will get ice cream , if you use your best dumb hick voice , they won't call you again !!!

When we lived in Mobile, Alabama, my dad would occasionally answer the phone "Bryce Hospital. Dr. Chisholm speaking." using his best mad doctor/evil archvillain voice. Bryce Hospital was the state mental institution in Mobile.

Oddly enough, people tended to hang right up.

Tell you gf to get a job and get her out of the house. Problem solved, plus you keep the money she makes.

Her job is to take care of me, & she does just fine, thank you......

When we moved here 5 years ago and got our new phone number, we were plagued by phone calls from debt collectors looking for the previous owner of the number. I mean, 3,4,5 calls a day from different numbers. In addition, there was the usual Charity Donate, Children's Cancer, Fraternal Order of Police, Security systems, walk-in tubs, and on and on. We are on the National and State Do Not Call list. Makes no difference.

Not answering the phone, or asking to be removed from their call list does not work.

Three years ago, I bought one of these: Call Blocker - Call Block Any Phone Number with Digitone's Call Blocker

It has been well worth it. You can block entire area codes or individual numbers. Any number you block, your phone doesn't ring and the caller just hears one ring, and then dead air. The display will show the attempted call. Then you can go to Phone Number Comments and usually find out who is actually calling and what kind of scam it is.

Very interesting, looking in to it, thanks.....

If it is on a cell phone buy the mobile Kaspersky software ($10) and use it to block their number(s)

Lol. I thought you'd enjoy that suggestion. Go tell her you came up with a great idea, tell her what I said, she how she reacts. Lol

Danger zone.

 

[General Zod]

Do either of you speak another language? Because that could be a way to discourage these calls. Especially if it's something they just won't have someone on hand to translate. Like Finnish, or Japanese, or Latin...or Klingon.

Not well enough..
