The best thing to do is tell them you left your wallet in the car and need to run outside to get it, then set the phone down and get on with your day. This both wastes the crooks time and keeps them from scamming another sucker for the time they are willing to wait for you to find your card.

That might just work!
If I ever order anything too big to fit in the mailbox, I have it shipped to the office at work. The mail lady will just kick it out next to the mailbox by the road, and the others leave it by the gate, rain, snow, wind, whatever.

I think identity theft should be a capitol crime eligible for the death penalty.


That's a fine idea.History serves us well, for those that remember.

I also get a LOT of calls and I ask them questions about who they are affiliated with, they generally hang up. But THAT would work too!!!

Boy, I get a lot of them. I guess I got put on a list somewhere. Now, I don't answer numbers that I don't know. They can leave a voicemail if it's someone I need to talk to.

Old, That would be cruel and/or unusual punishment. I would lock the guilty hacker up for five years the first offense, ten years the second and twenty five for the third. That ought to do it!
