Any Interesting Phone Calls Lately?

think they smell the rat - have held off since posting this thread. Although yesterday come to think of it, there was a recorded message for me to listen to from a pastor invitation to church. Don't normally listen to it as one knows about the church location and can choose to attend when ready.

I got an apology call from the FSS a while back. That was interesting.

I was asked to give "US Customs" my address and information because they had intercepted a $10,000 check for me from somebody in some other "undisclosed" nation. However, they assured me it was completely legitimate and they had already verified the authenticity of it. So I told them I was out of town (I really was) and that I would call the US costums office when I got home (I obviously found the real office number rather than using the number they gave me) On the way home from the trip I got another call from them asking again for my information because they were still holding my $7,350 check

they couldnt even keep their scam straight

I picked up the phone this afternoon only to be speaking with a curt, deep voiced gentlemen who was very secretive about what he was doing and hung up almost immediately after I told him my step-father wasn't at the house.

Turns out, it was a guy that sells wholesome movies to families.

We lived in SC for a year back in 2007. While we were there there was a Hispanic woman that kept calling us asking for somebody I guess that used to have the # we had. Well over the course of about 6months she called 3 times and every time she called i was the one who picked up the phone. on the third time when i told her that the man didn't live here she started screaming at me in spanish. I tried to tell her that i was sorry, but he didnt' live here above the screaming but she wouldn't listen. so i just hung up - it was funny
