I have not been besieged with these scam, investment, or other buy this or that calls for the last 2 weeks. Just wondering if any body else has experienced the same? I am surprised as I figured, they figure they have a captive audience. Maybe they all caught the dreaded, and we will never hear from them again. ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

Nope. Exact opposite here. Scam calls and robocalls about every half hour and because we now are under house arrest, we need to use a video conferencing app to talk to the grandkids and others. After signing up for that, get at least 20 or more scam emails everyday. You must just be lucky. Cherish it while it lasts.

Don't worry, they slacked off for a while but are coming back in full force. Luckily I have been able to make it through a whole day a few times w/o the scammers calling then the next day they will wear my cell phone out. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

What did I do right in Life? But of course my boiler went the 1st, April Fools, and I need to reinforce my stairs for them to put a new one in. But it could be worse, I still enjoy no phone calls. ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

The most aggravating one for me is the "Extended Warranty" for my vehicles. I keep hitting 'spam' but they just use a different number. I just ignore em.... ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Actually now that you mention Spam, mine has dropped considerably too. I wonder if the web is catching this WhoFlungPooh also. You know it could be jumping from animals, to humans, to technology, and the whole intergalactic universe.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

Ted, for awhile I amused myself by answering them. They would do their sales pitch, and then ask what make/model I had and I would say 'well you already know that, you are the ones that called me telling me my warranty was expiring'. It was fun hearing them try everything they could to get information from me. Or, I would tell them '46 Hudson, or something like that. Anyways, it didn't seem to deter them and I grew board with it. ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
