Comment on those Scammer intrusions... Lately it seems the Extended Warranty scammers have added a new wrinkle - /buysell your home. We're waiting on a call from Comcast to update our home service. Have no clue which number they use, so tempoarily, must answer any calls in case it's the service tech making his appintment and for gate access.
Today, the call went like this:
ME: Hello, who's this?
Caller, male, heavy accent...
Him: I'm Jason, representing Homebuyer, calling to see if you want to sell your house on XXXXXXX street.
Me: Well no, not this one, but I have one in Virginia and one in the Antarctica. I only want to sell the Antarctica one tho.
Him: Okay. Where is Antartica, is that Florida too?
Me: No, it's a little farther South.
Him: Why sell it, and not the other two?
Me: Well, I'm having a hard time dating that far south.
Him: Oh, that's too bad. Why is that?
Me: I guess I don't look or smell enough like a Penguin...
Him: After a few seconds - just a click and a dial tone.
And a follow up on getting a new number scammers may already have. I normally never answer a call if I don't recognize the number. If the caller won't leave a call back message - I just don't call it back. But for the next week or so, need to answer in case it's the Comcast tech.
