Just got (yet another) call from a guy who wants to provide me credit
card processing. I've heard the Youtube one about Mr. Mabe, the the

drones. Time wasters, for sure. I've got some time on my hands, and
might be interested in a comical way of dealing with them. Maybe I
should play along, and see how much of their time I can waste?


One of my pet peeves.

Our government is recording all calls phone numbers looking for
terrorists but does not stop these thieves. I never expect to encounter
a terrorist but have to put up with one or more of these crooks every day.

My best response was one to the guy who had a Nigerian type accent and
wanted to know what time I would be home so they could deliver the $3
million from Publishers Central bureau. I told him I was having a very
difficult time understanding him and wondered if there was someone there
I might understand. He fumbled around and I asked if I could speak to a
white person. All of a sudden this friendly guy turned and I could
almost feel the wires burning as I hung up.

I was going to try it again yesterday to the woman that called from
Microsoft about my computer virus but she hung up before I got to the
punch line.


My cell phone just rang. From area code "514". I did not answer it.

Looked it up on the web, and it appears to be a scam. Look at the
comments....below.
