One day my cranky DH answered the phone to get a scammer. He used unfriendly words and hung up. A minute later before he could relay his call to me the phone rang. Knowing he was on the way from the shop to the house, I answered the phone from my sewing room without looking at the number (dumb, I know!) Lo and behold, it was the scammer who called to complain to me that my husband had called him a 'very bad word' and that I needed to 'talk to him.' I calmly answered him that I have no desire to control my husband and that perhaps he should consider another profession that did not include scamming old folks. Needless to say, they have called again but we ignore them as best we can.
