Two days ago I got an annonymous call, they hung up when I answered, so I knew what was coming. Sure enough, today I got a recorded message telling me criminal proceedings were being brough against me, press 1. So I pressed it and an Indian gentleman asked me why I was calling. I told him, then he asked me my name. I told him to wait while I recorded the call then told him it was his idea to call me and he should already have my name. He got annoyed and mumbled something about the Police getting in touch then hung up. Not sure how they intended to scam me, but beware.

Had quite a long stretch without any of these calls, but in the last couple of weeks they have been becoming regular again.
Had one yesterdaymorning asking for me, so I said I wasn't me . Can I speak to her? No Why not ? She's not here When will Mrs be back ? Don't know ? How old is Mrs ? What's that got to do with you ? (I said) .. the phone went dead.
Another one this morning about BT something or other, so I laughed as in a big loud 'HA HA HA HA HA' and told them (shouted) to get lost and find a proper job. Phone went dead.
I seem to be getting very short with people just recently.. Is it my age ?
Habdab, don't press anything they tell you to when they phone, it has been known to cost people a fortune.

Thanks for the advice Granny, Can I press my ear to the phone?
