I’ve been getting those for a while now, but since I moved, I’ve been getting home warranty calls too.
Anyone else get random phone calls constantly?

I got a few calls that my extended warranty for my car was going to expire, which is funny since I just got it.
I get the calls about lowering the interest rate on my CC.
I sometimes answer the phone just to mess with them.
Got into an "argument" one time with the guy when I told him I don't carry a balance, & therefore interest rate doesn't matter.
He said I was lying & ended up hanging up on me, lol.

Here is another trick:
Add names to ever call you want to hear. Dr Jones, Band of Dallas, Joe's Garage etc, turn on 'announce calls' if you fone has that option, I have had it for years on my fones, guessing most or all do today.
So I hear Dr Jones is calling or I hear "Unknown Caller". What I have done over time is filter out almost every call that comes in, I either know or do business with or I get the Unknown announcement.

The problem is they spoof numbers. I once got a phone call from a scammer with my own phone number to me. Opting out didn't work. So, I picked the most messed up music on Alexa and pushed 1 to talk to someone and left the phone on the speaker.

Though, I have had times when some poor bastard would call up and his connection was bad, and it was a legitimate call, so I said, well, if you don't want to talk F U and hung up.
Talk to them for a min to make them think they've got you, then say "oh... can I put you on hold for just a min?", and transfer them to 778-330-2389.

Stupid people do stupid things sometimes. I remember when I had to go to the hospital for an ultrasound and brought my doctor's order, the fat lady at the counter said, I had to make an appointment, which in all the time I went there, never had to do that. I said, okay, how do I do that? She said, I don't know, that's your problem, go home and figure it out. Needless to say, I got my ultrasound the next day, and that lady doesn't work there anymore.

I get one to two phone calls a day. I guess they think the retired are gullible?
Beto?
I love those and the ones that want to help me with a virus on my computer. Absolutely love 'em. They are so much fun.
Ditto!
I get calls about my Apple account being hacked.
I've never owned anything Apple in my life.
Definitely his voting base if not him.
Got a call on a burner phone this morning concerning my car warranty. The recording stated this would be the last time they would be contacting me about this matter....I reckon that means I'll be hearing from them tomorrow .
But no worries, looks like I'll be able to afford that warranty after all. Just got this in my email....
