Scam Likely a Phone Salesman

Scam Likely called me eleven times yesterday Fifty-two times this week I do not pick up I used to though When I was younger sales calls were a personal challenge to me. I wanted to see if I could make them hang up first. Salesman: Do you own your own home? Me: No, but I would love to. Can you send me some money? Salesman: Would you love to have new windows? Me: I live in a tent down by the river. Salesman: I can give you a terrific insurance quote Me; What’s that? Salesman (or Scam Likely): I can tell you how to save money Me: I save money by not paying for insurance. When my children were younger, I discovered something marvelous. If you hand the phone to a toddler, the child is delighted. Babbling, gurgling and burping into the receiver with glee. Scam Likely hangs up first every time.
