Received a voice mail from "Vanessa Robinson" United States Mediation legal notification pending complaint from local county pre-litigation case number PVC-209-05. These scammers and telemarketers are out of control.  Between this lady calling with different variations of the same theme and Mr. Williams with the Indian accent calling about my computer, it can really be overwhelming if you let it get to you.  Me I've decided to go the other way and goof on them as much as possible.  I waste as much of their time as I can.  Last time Mr. Williams called I asked him if he had been spying on me and if he was part of the NSA program. I had him going for a while before he got frustrated and hung up.  Then I called him back and asked if we could dispense with the bull and if I could just give him my name, dob, social security number etc. so he can go ahead and steal my identity already.  He cussed me out and hung up.  Ahhh the joys of sarcasm...I must say I really enjoyed it.  

Today in an effort to really get under their skin, I am changing my telephone message to "Hello...hello...hello...who is this? Who?  What's your name?  Do I know you? etc. Once you say hello twice the call is connected. The trick is to try to keep them on as long as possible.  If everyone did this they would go broke talking to machines all day.

Good luck everyone and be careful out there!
