Hi all,

Have you had anyone from India ringing you saying they work for Microsoft and can fix all the bugs on your PC, either give them a pile of abuse or put the phone down, it's a scam world wide.

Tony

I put all telephone solicitors on hold--they rarely call back. Keep in mind that I've been on the Do Not Call List since it began, and I've updated it several times. When they get put on hold your name comes off the list pretty quick.

Another thing I've been doing lately, particularly with junk mail, is to send the entire package back to the sender in THEIR post-paid envelope. You would be amazed how fast your name comes off their mailing list.

Yeah, I'm gettin' crotchety in my old age! wink

Sending back the ads from other companies (especially competitors) in the post paid envelopes works wonders too.

I got one yesterday telling me I won a million dollars in some Face Book thing. They wanted similar details.

Of course, I didn't reply.

A buddy asked me what I'd do if I ever won a million dollars.

I told him I'd keep on playing music till I ran out of money.... wink
