You don't have to talk to everybody that calls. Perhaps a good friend could call back/answer 'those' calls.

Don't think I'd change my number - too many friends know it. I'd have to contact them & I couldn't possibly remember them all.

We have caller ID, an answering machine and, with our TV service, see the number on the screen. Many times the caller hangs up after 3-5 rings, sometimes when they hear the machine and very rarely leave a message. They are obviously not worth my trouble.

True friends leave a message & number and I will call back.

My sister recently lost her DH also and so many people keep asking me how much money she got. Well, I tell them I do not know because it is none of my business. It is sad how people suddenly appear when they think they can get something for nothing.

I have found this to be very true and it has happened to us - when people think you have money or items, they are your best friend. If you are having hard times - you have no friends. If you don't want to come right out and say "no". Then always tell anyone that you have to consult with your kids and let it go at that.
The good thing that came out of that phone call is that now you know what type of friend she is and always be careful.
Best of luck to you and your children as you move to a new time in your lives.

WOW - this sounds so weird! I'm afraid my curiosity would get the best of me and I would have to ask around about her.

Beware of people like this. She is hoping to take advantage of you! There is an old saying..........neither borrower nor lender be!

I am so sorry you had to receive such a phone call. You must have thought how thoughtful of her at first. Thank goodness your good sense kicked in as her conversation continued. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's another of life's lessons that we are learning from our Board friends. May you and your children continue to have the wisdom to make wise decisions throughout this most difficult time.

OMG, desperate for money or not, she still is pretty darn ballsy!! Makes you wonder how many other people she called using information about you that she found out through her job. I would definitely report her to someone--she may not be working now but she may once again work in the field. Maybe your real estate agent? I know ours has a favorite broker she uses most of the time.

We recently had someone want us to buy an older mobile home (40 years old) and then hold a mortgage for them. NO. Some people are just ballsy.
