Monday afternoon and
my smartphone is quiet. This morning it was ringing out of my hands. I
have to admit that I was pissed at the reason for the long distance
calls. The calls were
from two different number. Two different men calling me from the U.S.
Grants Department to give me a $9,000.00 grant to pay my bills. I swear
some people
must think that anyone over 60 years of age is stupid or something.
That last scam-artist that called hung up when I said I'd been through
this before. I haven't received a call from them this afternoon, but
maybe they only work half a day.
I like having a smartphone. I like the convenience of having caller ID. I do get a bit belligerent when the scammers repeatedly
call me to con me out of my hard earned money. I don't have that much
in the bank, but apparently they think that anyone over 60 is rich. The
weird thing is that the two guys sounded nice, so they could make an
honest living if they tried. Those calls did motivate me to consider
writing a story of some type about technology that can help protect
seniors from scam artist.
