Granny's gone and done it again

The callers I get say (in a heavy foreign accent) that they are calling from AT&T and I yell at them, NO YOU'RE NOT! I'M ON A DO NOT CALL LIST, STOP CALLING ME! Then I hang up. They keep calling (I think they have to, poor things) but now they are afraid of me. I say Hello? once or twice, there is no response, so I say, Goodbye! and hang up. I rather enjoy messing with them.

It does no good to block the number. They are not calling from the number that shows up. They have software that hides the number they are actually calling from. If you were to call that number back that shows up, you would get some confused housewife in Podunk Illinois or a retired fisherman in Whozit Maryland that would swear they never called you, because they didn't. They hide behind other people's phone numbers, and they'll never use that number again. I think it's called phishing.

So my eggs are cooked and I'm off to bed too. Enough talking to myself, lol!

29 - 13 if anybody cares. It was a good defensive game. I picked the Seahawks because I liked their uniforms, haha.

I've answered in the past. I say,
Hello, this is the IRS, how may I direct your call? ~~ CLICK.

Or, and more often than not, they pass your number along to another scammer if they're not getting any luck with yours.
Bronwyn has a pretty neat thing on her phone. If its an unrecognized number, like any on your list, it will go straight to voicemail. I told her I would worry about a Dr's number I dont have on my list. She says, it goes to voice mail..they would probably leave a message.

I don't watch anymore, but heard that the halftime was pretty awesome.
