[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I wouldn't call them scam calls, but I get several sales calls every day. Somehow, in many cases, my phone seems to be able to hang up on them after a few seconds.

In other cases, I like to have fun with them. One cal often starts, We were asked to give you a call about......." I stop them right there and say, "Who asked you to give me a call?" Then they try to go back to some sort of script and I won't let them. I demand to know who asked them to give me a call. And I won't let them talk unless they give me an answer.

When one of them got obstinate with me I told her that she's lying and if she thinks she's going to sell me something she's crazy. She told me that I should be more careful about what I put out on the internet. So the lesson is that if you respond in any way to any ads int eh internet when you are only trying to get a price or more information, you can expect to get a lot of these kinds of calls.

In the business they call you a "qualified lead".
