[Number 10 GI]

I'm under no obligation to treat telemarketers/scammers with respect. I give them an english lesson in four letter words and after 21 years in the Army I know all of them. I'm old and my time is valuable, I don't want to waste it with some jerk trying to sell me something I absolutely don't need or trying to scam me. It's my phone that I pay a fee to have and bottom feeder telemarketers/scammers have no right that entitles them to use what I'm paying for to enrich themselves.

I just wirelessly hooked up AT&T old school wireless home phones to a Samsung SIII Cell Phone and it works. My friend moves slower than me and now has phones all over his house but no landline charge. I'm with you Fraugoofy haven't had a house phone in many moons. Peace Out.

Can you believe Peace Out was made fun of somewhere else on here today? Sad!

What’s ‘peace out?’

If I’m at home with nothing to do I will engage the telemarketer. I enjoy wasting their time. While I’m on the phone with them they are unable to call a vulnerable senior and wipe them out financially. There is a special place in hell for those people, including the callers that are “just doing their job.” I had to say that before someone else said they’re just doing their job. On my landline in NY I get at least 3 calls DAILY for solar panels. I tell them I’ve had solar panels for 10 years, they say sorry, and the calls continue. I get 5 or 6 calls weekly for extended warranty on one of my cars. I tell them that car was sold 5 years ago, they say what are you driving now. I tell them it a 2019 xx, I bought it last week and it has 75 miles on it. They say, with 7500 miles we can… I repeat it’s 75 not 7500. They still continue the script. I inform them auto warranties here are different than those in India. On my landline in WA I get 3 or 4 calls weekly about selling my timeshare, I’ve never owned a timeshare. But I’ll still keep them on the phone till they hang up. Sometimes I’ll tell the woman solicitor but my caller ID says your name is Hector Gonzalez not x, I prefer to talk to Hector. I do enjoy playing with them. I’m not punching a time clock, I’ve got the time to have some fun.

When they call answer the phone by saying Sheriff Dept Fraud Division. It doesn't take them long to hang up
