  • Has Anybody Heard From Arlene?

    OK, so I got about the TWENTIETH cell phone call "hello, is Arlene there?" Same man's 'friendly' voice (pesky salesman)

    Can somebody PLEASE tell me who Arlene is, and let her know she's getting lots of phone calls!

    Next time tell him, "yes, this is she - there is a $15 charge for the first five minutes and $5 per minute thereafter, you naughty boy."

      I've been getting calls asking to speak to George for about a month now. When I Googled a couple of the numbers some popped up on scam watch websites.

      I'm always still in trouble again

        This is reminiscent of the old days when they would call your office telling you they were your copier toner supplier, and wanting to confirm the model of your copier. If they could get your "yes" recorded on tape, they could "prove" you actually ordered the boatload of toner they were sending you, and invoicing.

        If it's a number I don't recognize, I don't say anything at all... I just wait to hear them start their schpiel, and often, because of the silence, the call just goes dead. No doubt a robocall, waiting for a voice, so they can automatically transfer it to the next available scheister.

          My mortgage company (should have it paid off in less than two years) was calling me a month ago wanting to know if I wanted to remortgage the place. The problem was when I answered they usually either hung up or immediately put me on hold blaring music in my ear.

              I just tell them the have the wrong number. If they continue, I tell them by FCC laws its harrassment nd I'll be thanking them for their $1000 in court per call. They usually never call again after that.

                      I got a call recently from some research group. They wanted to talk to somebody over the age of 13.

                      I told them there was nobody here that fit that category.

                      There was dead silence on the other end.

                          Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
