Scammers

The house phone rings

I pick up the receiver.

(Once we move we won't be having a land line.)

There is a pause.

Then a concerned but slightly mechanical-sounding female voice says, "This is Amazon customer services. We have noticed...."

I put the receiver down again.

"One of those?" says Ailz...

And I repeat the message to her.

I wonder how many times I've heard it now. Must be in double figures. Same goes for the one that begins "This is bank security..."

You've got to give them credit for trying...

We invested in a landline phone system with call blocking facilities.

VERY useful!
