Re: Crazy unwanted phone calls

I had a real doozy a week ago.

 Generally, I don't answer unless the # is entered in my list(land line), however my cat was  being groomed and it looked like a local number, so thinking the groomer was calling, I answered.  A man with an obvious foreign accent began asking me if I'd like my credit card interest reduced.  Of course, I knew this was a scammer, but played along.

 I asked which credit card company he worked for and he said, Visa and Master Card.  I told him he couldn't work for both, but he insisted that he could.  He then proceeded to list  store charge cards!   We went back and forth for several minutes, I kept telling him he couldn't possibly do whar he claimed and he repeatedly stated he could.  I finally said "enough" and was in the process of hanging up.  At the last possible second, he said "F U", only he said the F word!  Not good.
