Our land line gets several per day. I used to say stuff to them, but now I just hang up. I also hang up when actual non-profit telemarketers call. It's too much to have to apologize for not contributing, etc, etc. We have our phone number on a Do Not Call List, but that means nothing to the scammer. Nothing. I also don't even reply to robo type calls that claim to be surveys, or the like. Many times they are looking for a "yes" or "no" answer to a question, which scammers can go on to use in a nefarious way. I also get scammer robo calls claiming to be associated with our electric company or credit cards. I know they are scammers because they don't give specific information about anything. More general. Plus, if they truly had an issue, they'd call for real. And, they wouldn't ask for private private info (like a SS#) because they'd already know it.

Have you ever been pick pocketed or victimized in some other way by a stranger?
