I haven’t checked in on FB file... but I get these calls all the time... I do a little of anything when they call... I let them listen to Rush until they hang up... or I don’t say anything and it’s blank until they hang up.. I don’t answer most of the time... or click on and then off.... But if I do answer and they call me by my name, I stop them in mid sentence and ask why are they calling this number when I did not ask them to... where did you get this number and where did you get a name.. by the time I get all the questions asked, they are ready to hang up... but on “where did you get his number”, they say they have a data file or etc.. I ask where did it come from and they don’t know. I tell them to take this number off their list.. and NONE Of the things I say to them is in a friendly way..
I’m sorry to be rude... but they ask for it when they dial my number, and say “this is ___ and I’m calling on a recorded line.. can you hear me?”. man, are they asking for it. Or they say “is this ___ ____ “? I do have calls I expect and it does not say who is calling.. just a number... and so when they say my name, and I don’t know them, it’s katy bar the door.
I also have been getting all kinds of magazines that I did not order.. don’t order any magazines... They have my address but a name I never heard of. I tried different things, but as of now, I write on the address of the magazine “this is not my magazine, this person does not live here” and put it back in the mail box. ...One time I told the carrier to only deliver with the last name.. and explained when I am gone for 2-3 days, these magazines fill up my box and mail can’t be delivered in a full packed box. I’m still giving them back to the carrier and he’s taking them back. I feel he is the deliverer of junk mail and I don’t want it! Some of the magazines are not fit to put in my box.
I learned a great way to get rid of pesky phone calls from an ER Doc when I was delivering His Golf Cart one morning after He had worked a Night Shift.
I unloaded his golf cart and put it in the garage the phone rang so He says excuse me just a minute and he goes picks up the phone handset, listens for a few seconds and asked them to hold on please, He puts the phone down goes over to shelf and picks up one of those compressed air horns goes back picks up the phone and blasts the airhorn in the mouthpiece on the phone and hangs up on them. He says that they very rarely call back;)
