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!!

The spoofing is done to get you tempted to pick up to find out who's spoofing you. To the surprise of no one, ever, some people actually get suckered into it.
