1. Good one.

I get an average of 21 spam calls a day. I have learned to just have fun with them.

2. Old, retired and bored.

I also have a little hand air horn I nail em with. You can get one at WallyWorld in the Fishing/boating section. I also know how to call them a Mother Fer in Hindi. No other insult better in their culture.

5. One thing you should know.

Collections agencies like to try numbers to see if they are active and if they go to whom they are looking for. If you answer, that tells them that it is you and the number is good.

There are other agencies that use this practice as well. Which is why I seldom answer any number I do not recognize or have been warned to expect.

They own us enough. Not going to make it easier for them.

7. i am very suspicious of anything on the phone

6. let it ring thru to voice message

it wastes their time hoping a live person picks up. If they do leave a message you can call back at your discretion.
