Not to hi-jack this BUT there's also a computer phising scam that we got this morning using an e-mail "almost" the same as someone in our address book. It sounded weird though as they were asking us to get a gift card (one we'd never heard of too) for larger denominations---ie. $50.00, $100.00 and send them to a sick friend in a hospital so he could purchase ???? THEN the e-mail sender would re-imburse us. Yeah, right!! We 1st said why wouldn't he buy his own instead of asking friends to do it? Well in re-reading and thinking about it---it just wasn't something we thought was valid. So we changed our password and forgot about it. ROBO-calls are aggravating for sure. We just don't pick up unless for sure we know whose calling. I too got a call from me using our phone number. That's truly weird when it happens!!
