New Scam

[xseler]

Never say anything more than, "I am Groot." Do this repeatedly.

Don't be like me, be like Groot.

I'm getting these as well, at least 1 per day. The calls are coming from a Houston, TX area code.

I got one yesterday. I only answered because I thought it was from a client.

I got one the other day and it came up as being a junk call. Supposedly my Apple account has had something happen and is being suspended.... Anyone who knows me probably knows I don't have an apple account let alone any apple devices.

My google voice numbers get some interesting calls though, I am being sued by the SSA, IRS, among others in the alphabet soup and every once in a while get a call that is completely Chinese. I honestly should take it to someone I know and find out what they are actually saying but I am sure it is a scam of some sort as well.

I am almost to the point where I plain don't care about who is calling. Honestly I would shut the phone off completely if it wasn't for a couple things.

I've been there for a long time. I don't answer if I don't know who it is, or if I'm not expecting a call. I have voicemail, if it's important they'll leave a message. My wife on the other hand, will stop the earth from turning to answer that stupid a$$ phone. It's like a law of nature, that it just HAS to be answered when it rings.

I was already at the point where I didn't answer if I didn't recognize the number. I have a blocker and I don't care who it is if you call from a toll free number it is automatically set to just kill it. Get a lot of calls from a 303 area code that are blocked among others. I will pay more attention to a text message than I will a phone call most of the time. My tablet gets text messages as well so honestly it is all I really need most of the time. Sadly the person who had the number before me had a bunch of junk. Funny enough they were trying to recover their gmail account the other day and I was getting messages from google with codes to recover it. I am guessing they found another way as after a couple tries they stopped coming in. But I use an app called signal so I can block the text as well from junk numbers. Most of the crud I get goes to a google voice number anyway. Sign up for something and they HAVE to have a phone number they get it... The funny thing is how I remember the number as part of it says "SexItUp" so when someone asks for me number at a store that is exactly how I give it to them.

Yeah, I bought a pickup in 1995 from a car dealership in Midwest City that has since closed. I used Sr after my name, the only time I have ever used Sr and they apparently sold my name and information and I receive mail all the time with Sr after my name. They make a profit selling the car and then without asking they sell my name and information to some entities who then has the ability to irritate me via USPS and landline.
