Btw the evil part of me wants me to say that I'm having trouble feeling sorry for all the people stupid enough to fall for a scam like that.
The other thing it wants me to say is that I'm still working on that device that allows you to send a shock through the phone line to the person, jerk, asshole, idiot, or scam artist on the other end.

I operate the same way...I don't answer the phone...and only respond to a call if they leave a message...but sometimes I decide to have some fun with a telemarketer and will take the call. Right away I will over ride what they are saying and give them a spiel about a car I have for sale. Every time they begin to speak I will over ride what they are saying with something additional about the car. I continue this until they hang up on me.
