Steve Martin just called me from Microsoft

[annabanana]

Seriously.
One of those heavily accented scammers,

"Hello Ma'm. My name is Steve Martin and I am calling you from Microsoft. There is a problem with your Windows"

I just laughed and hung up. If I were quicker witted I would have riffed the hell out of him. They really should google before they make up their monikers.

1. That is creepy, though.

2. It's gotten that MOST of the calls I get to my landline

are scams and ads.

4. That's why I have caller I.D.

In my "yut" I got two prank calls which were sexually perverse. After I got caller ID, I received none. But I do have a practice of not picking up the phone if I don't recognize who is calling.

9. I noticed that too.

I don't bother with caller ID since scammers can spoof it.
Instead I used the answering machine to screen calls. Ringer is off.
People know to wait til the beep so I know who is calling.
considering I have maybe 5 people who call my phone, it is no big deal.
but damn, that phone rings at least once an hour, esp. busy on weekends.

11. I haven't gotten Steve before

but I have gotten that same call from "Tom Cruise" and "Kevin Smith". Next time I pick one of those up, I'm going to ask to speak to the guy that called me last time - Nipsey Russell.

12. He probably used Bing instead of Google.
