I Am Fortunate To Have Someone Call Every Day To Check On Me

[Jim G.]

He is from India & he's very concerned about my car warranty.

1. I'm fortunate that way

I get called nearly everyday about a back brace for my bad back that I don't have.

2. I have a bad back and my doc says wearing a back brace all the time is terrible for the back.

Yes after surgery you need it. But if you keep wearing it the back muscles stop working.

Yes these idiots call me every day too; I have had a lot of ortho injuries and surgeries.
But these braces are wrong wrong wrong to wear on a permanent basis.

4. Interesting

Thanks for responding. The person keeps saying he is from Medicare. I always say I know this is a scam and I am going to report him.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes. Tell him to take you off the list or you will report to Medicare.

They stopped calling me for about 6 months after I did that.

8. Great idea.

Thank you. I will do that.

14. I shortcircuit them - I tell them I have no pain anywhere, no pain at all

Scammer: Your knees must hurt?
Me: No, they are amazing, I have no knee pain, ever!
Scammer: So you have back pain?
Me: My back never hurts - I can pick up seventy five pound bales of hay and throw them in the second floor hay loft with no pain!
Usually they give up at that point. I do all my answers very cheerful and upbeat and am enthusiastic about my lack of pain.

Poor scammers, can't even sell me a back brace.

Nice

5. I so wanna rip the phone out by the roots

Tired of them, and police pensions, and foreign meds, and solar energy roof panels, and Republicans looking for money.

I could go with no-phone, basic cable for a few dollars less, but it's a hassle to set it up, and rework the router, and/or guarantee the condition of their router at $500. So I keep the phone but leave it off the hook most days.

7. We can send a man to the moon but cannot get rid of scam calls to seniors.

Maybe Biden can put that on his to do list.

12. I just got a totally new caller, phone's been ringing 4 or 5 times today

'This is Sammy, from the Medicaid Center ...."

Me: "Don't call here again. You're a fake, a scam ...." He hung up.

[BlueJac]

9. He calls me too...

About 10 times a week

10. I'm luckier than that. I have a sweet girl named Lisa who checks my car warranty every day.

She's so dedicated to her job that her message is word-for-word identical every day.

[Harker]

11. I wonder if she knows Heather.

Getting on the national no-call list stopped these nuisance calls for me.

[AllaN01Bear]

13. have a good one for you. one day my heath care worker who drives me around

going shopping , drs appointments , etc , were in the elevator of my apartment complex. coming out of the speaker was one of those calls saying " your car warrenty has expired . and this was a special phone that links to a call center in case someone gets stuck in the lift.

15. If someone wanted to make millions.

I would be willing to pay a fee that would shut off commercials on tv and get rid of spammers and junk email. I bet others would too for something that works.

[OLDMDDEM]

16. Yes nt.

[FakeNoose]

17. If you don't answer, does he leave you a message?

If he does then he's a real friend!

Most of my SPAM friends will try to fool me into answering the phone by using fake Caller IDs. I'm onto them and I never answer, or try not to. They don't leave a message either because if they did, I could report the SPAM call. When there's no message left on my machine, then there's nothing I can report.

[Demovictory9]

18. sorry to tell you that he's cheating on you

[Hekate]

19. Yeah, I get that too, only the Indians have given up & now I get robo-calls instead.

I hope they are recording my rather explicit comments.
