| This has happened three time since I started vaping about a month ago. I get these calls from what I assume to be scam artist telling me they want to send me a electronic cigarette along with a free $100.00 visa gift card. I guess this come with times of digital communication.

| I would be wary of these calls. If you didn't call them, could be a scam. | |

| That's never happened to me. When I start getting calls like that, I resubmit my numbers on the donotcall.gov list. I have to do it about once a year. | |

The Do Not Call list works ok but some still slip through and if they continue you have to go through the hassle of reporting them, included time and dates they called you. I have a coaches whistle and I will just blow that through the phone then hang up. Usually they never call back. If I'm in a good mood, I'll ask them for their home phone number and I will call them back at my convenience. When they refuse to give it to me... they always do... and will argue why you want their home number... I then will blow the whistle. They don't call back either  | |

I used to have this "Greeting" on my answering machine, back in the mini-cassette tape days... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVPkcyM4ohw
Never seemed to work though.
I actually got MORE calls than I did before!!
Go figure, huh? | |
