I look at the caller ID before I answer the phone. If I don't recognize the area code or its one of the many different 800 number I let them go to voice mail--I'll read their message on the computer. The one I seem to be getting the most lately is they want to help me-they use my full name- sell my '' time share'' they understand that at my advanced age I could use the extra money and the stress of those monthly payments would be gone..How sweet of them to worry about me like that. My Dad will be 90 in Sept and I don't even consider him to be some one of ' advanced age ' . Great sales pitch and as soon as I remember where that time share is I'll give them a call back.
