It showed up as 9798. That's it. I should never have answered but it's a work phone and I have people call me from all over the world so I can't risk not answering a call.

I work with the military so I have people that are deployed in countries all of the world and they seem to have my cell #. It's not as glamorous as you make it sound.

I still think you're special.

The key is reading comprehension. I am impatient and sometimes I lack it.

But still...Spyhunter rules.

They called her for a few days. I basically told her to turn her computer off and disconnect it from the internet.

In related news, an Indian IRS employee called my house yesterday saying I needed to call back about a very serious matter. LOL

My buddy pretended to follow their directions with a southern accent for like 10 minutes. Finally the con man asked what he was seeing.

"Where?"

"On your monitor."

"What monitor?"

"The computer monitor."

"Computer?"

"Yes."

"Shoot! I ain't even got a computer!"

The Indian con man actually laughed.

Another buddy read them the riot act because his BiL had been duped (but stopped short of giving them a CC number). The Indian con man called him an idiot hung up.

I told one of them that I'd have to run out to the barn and fire up the generator and that I had to go get gas for it first. I left him hanging on the phone for 30 minutes before he hung up. He called back and I told him I had an Apple operating system when he told me to click on the start button. I ended up wasting an hour or so of their time.
