The number on caller i.d. said:
Texas call, 1-409-574-1214. Called it back and got msg, "call cannot be completed as dialed". Big surprise!
I'm sure most here would know not to give them any info but just in case.....!
I have a really good way of dealing with those calls. I have a couple of coaching whistles (available in the sporting goods department at any store) that I keep handy. Whenever I get one of those calls, I give them an earful of the whistle just as loudly as I can. Last time I did that was about 7 months ago, and I haven't gotten one since. LOL!
