I got the same call in Miranda. I wondered if it was bc I just bought a new phone and Maybe Verizon is selling our phone numbers? Thanks so much for the heads up.
“No, a Customs Agent Hasn’t Intercepted a Drug Package Meant for You” so it’s still on the way? 🙂
Lol
Snort…
hahaha
oh thank goodness this has been cleared up. Many of the regular commenters on LoCo were getting nervous.
Just this very minute I got a call from ssn stating fraud against me, so I love playing with these fools snowy out nothing else to do , and give a bogus name and last four and he asks again and I give the bogus info and he cusses me out for lying to him! Can’t make this stuff up……
Haha. Me too. I figure the longer I can keep them on the phone, the less time they will have to screw some innocent
I miss the days when you could get photos with bread and fish…
Yep I always tell unsolicited callers to send nudes
Every day, either a scam call or a semi scam (police “benevolent assn”) call.
My buddy worked at a “police benevolent “ call center. He got 50% commission!
Only a complete moron would fall for that!!!
Drs hardly treat pain, even someone who has cancer. Legitimate pain treatment by dr is not the same as the war on street drugs. Legitimate pain clinic patients guard their meds like gold and do not over use them. An elderly person in pain should not be turned away to suffer and cry alone at home. They are not the problem with drug war but drs are afraid to prescribe.
