My husband made the mistake of answering a call that he thought was from a doctors office. He said hold for a second and I will connect you with my LEGAL partner that handles such business.

They were sending us affidavits that they said I would find important to a pending court case.

I asked if they were sending my retainer fee of $2500.

He asked for what. I said to represent them in federal court. I would ask for an additional $250K when a court date was set.

He hung up so I guess he wasn't amused. I don't think I fooled him, he just knew he wasn't going to scam us.

Back when there was no caller ID i would sit the phone next to the radio.

They hung up , don't know what happened?

I'm still waiting for that $300,0000 the Nigerian prince is supposed to put in my account.

Congratulations your Nigerian royal family found you. The king just died and left you a $300,0000 inheritance.

I love that funny little sound my phone makes when I block a phone number, and I block a lot of them because I made the mistake of giving my phone number to a scammer. Worse I knew it was a scam,but curiosity got the better of me.

We are now getting a pop up on our phone “ suspicious caller “ when a scammer is calling

I don't have a land line and I haven't answered a call on my cell phone in years unless my Contact name pops up. If it is important they can leave a message.

Years ago I was walking by a bank of payphones, one started ringing. I picked it up said "Wrong Number damn it!"

To this day, I wonder what they thought.....

You should have had a little chat with the caller. But you didn't and now you were left wondering about the call for the rest of your life.

I always say if they want to really want to speak to me bad enough ~ they will call back …we have a landline only because it came as part of of internet package

I don’t even answer or play with them.

Things are getting so sophisticated and so scary that no good can come of it.

Lately, I’ve gotten more suspicious texts and fewer calls.
