In a way, I almost miss those scam calls, like the 'IRS' guy with the heavy accent, or the (non-existent) car warranty, as just two examples. Now, with call screening, those joyous (?) days are gone. By the way; what is the employment agency scam?employment agency scams are more annoying than those wrong number romance scams

I get my share in emails. I got one from the USPS saying they needed my credit card information in order to deliver a letter, and at the end it said "The USPS wishes you good luck every day". Seems legit.
We used to do (harmless) prank calls to our friends on the weekends. With Caller ID it's impossible anymore, but it was so fun coming up with "pranks" to do on the phone!
My cousin and I used to put my other cousins toddler on the phone and tell her what to say.
All innocent and in good fun! Since it was during my summer visits with my family I didn’t even know who we were calling most of the time.

Yeah, back in the days of party lines, it was easy to make prank calls.....unless someone else on the line was listening in.I get my share in emails.

what's on my mind alot is my cats. I have decided peaches and coco will be at a pet sesort when I'm gone. Maggie will stay at home and my neighbor will take care of her. I found her on nextdoor. She lives in my apartment! Plus, is manager for senior living. My mom is into the what ifs,now I am too
you get a random txt from a fake staffing company saying they seen your resume or information and asking if you are interested in working for them remotely. if you respond they try get your personal information social bank etc.
This stuff just never ends. Why I don't answer my phone most times. But if you are waiting for and doctor vet or work call you really have to answer as they don't aways call from a number you recognize.
I get all these calls that show up on my caller ID as being from towns that are reasonably close to me. I think they hope you will say, "Hey, I know someone who lives in Asheville! I'd better get that!"
Yes. I get a ton from a city about 50 miles away.
One of those days yesterday. Mid day I got the call that my 86 year aunt with dementia was back in the hospital after another incoherent episode. Meeting on Thursday with our attorney to start an emergency guardian/conservatorship so that this time we can transfer her to a facility instead of letting her go home. It is a yuck process but necessary st this point.
I figured out theres a very small call center close to my moms house. It looks like they route calls through it so they look like they are basically in her neighborhood. There isn’t much commercial space in the vicinity so that doesn’t help.
The risk is part of the thrill sometimes.

Not so long ago, I got an email from 'FedEx' telling me that they couldn't deliver my package, and needed to confirm my information to do so.........except that I had not ordered anything from anyone. Needless to say, the email got dumped posthaste.

My favorites are the ones that are so poorly done it should be worthy of prosecution just for the sheer stupidity. "U HAVE WUN A FREE CELL FONE. CLICK HERE."
I remember back in the days of AOL, occasionally a website would lead you to a page that had balloons and confetti telling you that you were the sites 1,000th visitor, and to "click here" to claim your prize. A few years ago I got non stop phone calls from the "we have been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty" places. I had a little bit too much fun with those calls, but, they stopped.
Maintenance finally came to day. I am getting a new stove/oven! I should make them cookies though I have been eating too many sweets
Oh finally!FANTASTIC- happy you are getting a new stove,good start
When can you expect it?
Probably Like many here. I often receive those Junk letters in the mail informing me that my car is out of warranty . How do those companies Know anything about my cars. They don't as both cars have Warranties.
