i had them call my cellphone once at work and i strung them along - it was the tax one....but if you pay us 1800$ right now we'll clear everything up and you won't go to jail. i tried the "wow, free room and board, why would i pay you 1800$" and they went on about criminal records etc. so i asked for a number i could call them back because it cost me minutes to be on my cellphone and i had to go and dig out my credit card from my office..the doorknobs GAVE ME THEIR NUMBER!!!! so i called back and when they answered the phone i explained very calmly that someone had called and was worried for the safety of someone in that location, and the police were tracing this call to get their address and uniformed officers would be at their door in a few moments, please do not hang up the phone because someone there is in the process of committing a crime at their location and their safety may be at risk. the phone hung up in short order with a few choice words on the other end.....so i reported the number to the local police force LOL. they had given me a local number too....some people.
i haven't gotten another call like that....

For the past two days.... as in a few minutes ago, this number has called.1-855-979-6470. Claiming to be from Canada Revenue Agency. Telling me that I have a lawsuit pending on me. If I DON'T call them, then I 'get what i get', lol. Why would Canada Revenue Agency sue me?? WTF? Some people. This number actually has been calling for a long long time. I usually let the answering machine pick it up. This is the second time someone actually left a message on it. Sounds like a computer message. Probably tho, if you DID pick it up, you would get an as s hole on the other end.

I had the computer guys call about my problems with windows LOL. I said that was great I've been waiting to hear when they were going to install the new kitchen windows. I had them stung along for quite a while until the guy screamed at me that I was a crazy lady and slammed the phone down.
