I get random calls during the day and night to my cell, congratulating me for winning a cruise. Bloody annoying.

I have a very simple rule that any number i don't recognise goes straight to voicemail.

my phone is usually just on silent or vibrate anyways. They don't tend to bother me

I keep getting the credit card one so normally say something along The Lined of "oh my I already have 2 cards maxed at 40k each and the bank is foreclosing on my house, you are my life line"
Then they hang up.

Last time I just told them it was a crap
Scam and that they should be ashamed of themselves and I hung up .

I then kept getting calls from the number that I couldn't answer . My voice nail then played back 3 v rude messages telling me to stuck my debt in a place on my body etc lol

I googled the number and scam and apparently yes they are getting quite aresey with people!

Having said that , they haven't rung back since !

With the credit card scam, I'm surprised they didn't want to give me a credit card after I told them that I have 4 cards already that have an average balance of $20 K and I pay 28% interest

The windows guy told me that he was going to f**k my wife and mother (his words) after I told him that it was a scam to drain my bank account via the installation of key logger software

There are some great videos here of what people have done at times.

It's never a person on the other end for me when I get the calls.. always some robot voice. I do not understand how people fall for that kind of stuff!
