"If you call here again......

Interesting point, just set it down in front of the television?

Just got another Indian Windoze Update scammer call. This one was a younger dude. When I told him "No." to his question of if I wanted my Windoze Update to function properly, he asked me, "Why not?"

"Because you're a ***king scammer."
"Oh, I'm a ***king scammer. Do you want to sook my pinos?"
"What?"
"You want to sook my pinos. It's very long."
"That's not what your wife said."
"What?"
"That's not what your wife said."

It's so satisfying to get them to hang up in anger.

It may be less fun in the short term, but is much more peaceful in the long term to just block their number. Don't know how easy that'd be for you Cathy, but it's worth the effort as far as I'm concerned.

Every call that even remotely makes me think "scammer" gets a Google lookup of their number. Once I see multiple confirmations of telemarker/scammer/etc. I just add that number to my block list. Works like a charm.

We're talking an unadorned POTS landline. I don't even have Caller-ID.
