Don't Try to Scam This Old Lady

There I was, watching another NCIS marathon, when the phone rang. When I answered, I heard the voice of a man who was obviously from another land. He told me his name, "Jaabbrrr Wllllrlkld, from the Blllddnnn Corporation". I asked him to repeat it, and he said, "Jaabbrr Wllllrlkld, from the Blllddnn Corporation." Hmmmmm.

Then, he informed me, enunciating quite clearly, that his office had received a check in the mail for $1.9 Million, which was addressed to me and went to him by mistake, and if I would give him some information, he would......... "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING??? he asked."

I said, "Oh, I've heard all about these calls and since I've never been scammed before, I'm just really tickled to hear from you." 'What do you mean?", he asked. "I said, Im not going to give you any information. In fact, I'm not going to talk to you any more at all." And I hung up.

Jay came in during my little bit of fun and, of course wanted to know who was on the phone. I did my best imitation of the accent and recited what the call was about, and what I had told the guy. Conversation over. Jay knows how I love to mess with their minds.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again. This time, Jay answered it. I only heard his side of the conversation, which went something like this: "Hello? Who's calling, please? What do you want to talk to her about?" Long pause, then, "Well, tell you what, I'll give you the phone number at the Arkansas Attorney General's office and you can tell him all about that check."

I started to chuckle again, and, Jay suddenly hollered, "WHAT????" And, then, he said something to the guy that I'd rather not repeat, but it concerned the guy's mother. And, he hung up. "If he calls back, I'll answer again."

I'm betting he won't.

Stay tuned.
