Default Another telemarker call this morning

A guy calls from some refinancing company "again". I told him I had asked to be taken off the list the last three times they called. He said yes, but it takes awhile for the number to come off. So I suggested he try harder this time.

Then I told him........

If I want to refinance my house, I will call a loan shark and probably get a better rate..........LOL

I tell them to call my DH at his office. I then give them the non emerg. number for the police or a number to Walmart. It seems to work for awhile. LOL

I got a call today about getting my MasterCard interest rate to 0% because I was a valued customer. I don't have a MasterCard.

It was a hot day for that one .... I got it too!
and have had it several times.

The worst thing about that one, is that it is well done and sounds for real.
Nope, they didn't fool me!

I only answer my phone if it is someone I know and that isn't many.

I got a call today that they were updating my Medicare info. They said they were aware I had back or knee pain. Only pain I had was him calling. I am not even on Medicare yet.
