If we would start making examples of people like them a lot of the garbage going on now would stop.
If done properly, hanging is a fairly merciful way to execute a person.
I'm more of a rawhide, and antbed guy myself, but that's just me.

Many years ago stealing horses and cattle was a hanging offense.
I think identity theft should be a capitol crime eligible for the death penalty.

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.


One of my favorite is when they promise to 'save' me money on insurance or whatever!! I tell them I'm rich and like to spend my money!! That leaves them speechless and they hang-up!

Sounds about RIGHT to me. The rawhide and antbed thingy!! Problem is, some so-called do-gooder would come along and call it "cruel and unusual punishment," and put a stop to it!! BUT, I'll guarantee, if done a few times, it would put a stop to all of the scams going on today!!! Or, at the least, SLOW them down considerably!!!

That is what you get for attempting to purchase a new "Broom" on line....

Oh, it wasn't a broom. I have a quite serviceable one on hand. Careful. I might just use it to crash through your beautiful abode. Anyway. modern witches use vacuum cleaners. The brooms do come in handy for beating people over their heads though. If something drops on your empty head, think of me.

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.

**********************
I did tell the caller (scammer) that I was expecting someone soon and asked for their number so that I could call them back with the info. The third call was from a female and I told her the same story. I decided not to check out the number because, as has been done in the past, some numbers charge ridiculous fees for the call. I suspected that might also be the case. Someone did call back four times and I let my phone go to message. Who ever it was did call repeatedly but left no message.

Every where you turn too!! I once put a go-cart I had for sale on Craig's List and I had one answer and the guy wanted me to send him the money for shipping, And then he would have it picked up, THEN he would send me a check for it!! I told him to send a CASHIERS check, For the Go-cart AND the shipping, and once I got the money "IN MY HANDS", I would send the Go-cart to him !!! Never heard from him again! His address was somewhere overseas. NEVER tried to sell anything on the Internet again!!!

BEST "rule of thumb", unless there is a bill right in front of you with a PHYSICAL ADDRESS on it, I would NEVER give anybody money!! I keep a CLOSE HAND on my money, and IF anybody gets any of it, they DAMN well better DESERVE IT, or have it coming and can PROVE it!!!

The BEST thing for you to do is JUST HANG UP on anyone you do not know!!! Or better yet, don't answer unless the name of someone you KNOW comes up on caller ID!!!
