Do you know what I have discovered?
That all of them are not looking for me!
I have taken to demanding who they are looking for. I do mean demanding!
Why?
Well, I have had a lot of people say I don't sound 70.
So, after demanding who they are looking for, almost always Connie or this Donna Hinkle (who I don't know) I tell them they aren't here.
They want to know who I am. I tell them they don't need to know my name. Lately I've been telling them I'm not on Medicare.
And they believe me!
Now, the other day I did get one who did ask for me. Then asked if I knew how much I was paying for the other parts of the plan, whatever they are called. I told him I didn't know, that the State took care of it.
After he confirmed the State was paying for it he hung up.
I guess someone actually knew about the State handling things for retirees.
So, you know, things could be worse for this scam answering old lady...

@wolfgirl569 Less than 30 minutes ago I had someone asking for Connie, or Constance which is her 'real' name.

@ElicBxn Some just want to keep talking hoping to get you to fall for whatever. I don't get many asking for anyone by name

I don't bother answering the phone I let the answering machine
pick it up & they never leave a message & that takes care of that.

@2ndchances24 true, but if they spend 2 minutes on me, that is probably at least 60 seconds they aren't calling other people at the end of their day.

I got a call last night from someone saying my phone number would be discontinued or something and to press 1 for English, 2 for Chinese. I told 'em to f-off and shut my phone.
