at least once a week ,I get one telling me I can reduce my student loan ,of which I have never been to college.I pressed 1 to actually talk to someone,she asked for my student loan number,I told her "you tell me since they say I owe you and I'll check it against the one I don't have". Confused the heck out of her.

These comments were soooo interesting! My cell will say "unknown caller".... & it only rings 3 times, so guess I'm good?Once in a while I'll pick up up for the fun of it.... sometimes nothing. Have gotten several calls about my "student loan"... I'm 74 & have never, ever had a student loan. Only thing I can figure is, my cell phone is on my DIL's plan & she & my son have student loans.....

I got two calls today from MS saying they are going to shut me down in 48 hours if they don't hear from me about my account being hacked from all over. Funny thing the calls came from me! At my phone number! How can I answer myself with only one phone! :D

Quit calling yourself!!!
I just finished a book about men trying to collapse the world Banks and power grid system. yikes. sort of true situation. I think people have nothing better to do but bother other people.

I use Windows Essential for my virus protection, its free and doesn't hose up my pc like some of the ones that come installed on you pc. I uninstall them as soon as I get a new pc. They work great but if you don't pay after the 30 days, they do mess up your pc and it runs really slow and lots of pop ups.

My husband has started answering the phone (unknown callers) with ‘clarke county sheriff, fraud department. How can I help you?’ He gets very quick hang ups and we seem to be getting fewer calls.

I got one of those annoying calls today while babysitting our 19 month old grandson. When I answered and realized it was "one of those calls", I handed the phone to my grandson. He's learning to talk and loves holding a phone and saying..."helwow, helwow". They hung up and grandson had a blast. Grammy was laughing too!
