Tried scamming my 91yr old father. Local number and it's a local person. Sheriff department won't do anything about it. A purple heart and a bronze star isn't good enough I guess

Do you think the sheriff can do something about foreign scammers?

I'm getting one about Medicare open enrollment.

I tried ignoring the calls to no avail. I tried saying "no" when they ask if I have Part A and B. They say "sorry, you don't qualify" but then they call back anyway. I tried pretending to be interested but the live agent hangs up on me.

Not sure what their game is. I'm careful not to say "yes" so they aren't getting that. They aren't signing me up for anything so they're not scamming money. By now they know I'm not a sucker, so why waste their time?

They’ve tried nothing and they’re running out of ideas.

I simply don't answer calls from unknown phone numbers, even if local. I have a voice mail if they want to leave one.

I don’t even understand spam calls. Who talks to them and furthermore who let’s them to you into something? I assumed everyone just hangs up on them

I really despise folks who prey on the elderly.

It’s such a cuck way of life.

If elected as your president, I will take advantage of the complete executive power and immunity recently established by the Supreme Court to form an elite squad of men from Delta Force and Seals. They will be ordered to use unlimited resources to hunt down and kill on sight telephone and email scammers in any location throughout the world.

I keep getting for Joyce. I’ve gotten 4 simultaneous calls for her along with multiple text messages.

Irritating.

That's a legit wrong number.

I got one once reminding a student about her exam. I replied and let them know it wasn't intended for me. They apologized and I told them no bother, I just didn't want the intended recipient to miss the message.
