they called again the next day, I didn’t answer I was on my way out. Yesterday they called 7 times, every hour from 6am onward. I didn’t pick up. Never left messages. They must have Fridays off,
They did send another paper bill to her in the mail too.
I guess they’re hoping she’s somehow resurrected
Lately we’ve had a lot of calls on our landline. The sales agent is always asking for my wife. She claims to be calling from MasterCard. She calls on a daily basis, sometimes twice daily. I’m retired, old, don’t have a life. Today I was mildly bored and decided to call up MasterCard. They don’t have a record of multiple calls to our landline. Grrrrrr. I plan to have fun the next time she calls. 
MasterCard? OMG I didn’t know the scammers even know that exists. I only have ever got calls about the Visa card I don’t have being charged $1400 for an iPhone somewhere in Asia.
Was bored one day and answered a survey on my landline. They’ve been calling daily for months for me to claim the “prize” I won.
Plus I think President Biden is calling for my advice. There were seven missed calls on the list from “United States” but no messages.
“Hello this is Visa calling to let you know that you have $300.00 purchase on ebay and a one thousand dollar foreign money transfer. If you would like to speak to a representative about these transactions please press one”
I’m not sure which is more annoying, the call, or the fact that I logged into my Visa account to check on things. Haha
Started not answering until after the 3rd ring. If no one answers right away when I say hello I hang up. Robocall.
Looks like they started using what collection agencies use.Last week no one answered so I hung up. It instantly rang again. Did it a couple times until I left it off hook while I went to the can and then hung up.
Learned a few tricks from guys trying to collect corporate debts from employees and ‘accumulated interest’ from people that died.
Scammer: “I am calling from Telus to offer you a new data plan, since you’re a loyal Telus customer.”
Me: “I’m not a Telus customer. What makes you think that?”
Scammer: “Ok, I’m offering you a plan for 20 GB/month of data for $49.”
Me: “My current data plan is unlimited 5G (throttled after 40GB), and I pay $21/month.”
Scammer: “What? No, that’s impossible.”
Me: “Yeah, you’re right, with auto-pay, referrals, and loyalty bonuses, it’s usually even less than $21 per month.”
(actually, because of how rewards played out, my bill in December was negative $6. They actually owed me $6 for the month.)
Scammer: “Silence.”
Me: “Well, unless you have anything else to offer, then I think we’re done.”
Scammer: “How about a free phone?”
Me: “I’m using an iPhone 15 Plus right now, what can you offer.”
Scammer: " … "
Mia from Indeed texted me today. She offered me a job without an interview. The pay is between $200 - 5000 per day Also I’m paid every day for my work. Seems legitimate to me. I’ll probably just need to give her all of my banking credentials to get my first pay cheque today. I’m not greedy. $1000 per day is enough.
What could go wrong?
Three invoices in the email today from senders I’ve never heard of for things I never ordered and would never use.
No texts from CRA this week threatening jail this week, you’d think they don’t grab your GST rebate first.
I never answer the phone until the 4th ring, most autodialers are set to hang up after 3… and if there’s no answer within 5 secs of saying Hello, they get a fuck you and hung up on.
I’m now so damn old I remember the calls on the landline that started with an Ahoogah horn and you’ve won a set of free knives…
