    (Excuse the mixed metaphors.)

    ...Just got a call on my cell phone, from a man's recording, stating
      --this is the "second & last notice"
      before the warranty expires on my "vehicle"--  
    ...Huh? Vehicle?  WHICH one?
    ...UH, OH! FISHY?  CODE YELLOW.
      --Caller was HINTING--the "HOOK & BAIT" of being
                  deliberately VAGUE about a fake,
                  personal/financial "DILEMMA."  
    ...NOW my "VICTIM" EMOTIONS --anxiety & curiosity--could betray me, and  
      tempt me to "open wide," for the dreadful bait, but NO!

      --"SECOND & LAST" means START SWALLOWING FAST.  
    ...The scammer wants to nab me QUICKLY, while EMOTIONS have me momentarily
      stunned.  
      Scammer allows me NO TIME to THINK--NO TIME to use LOGIC or COMMON SENSE.
      (So EVIL!)

    ...I am instructed to "DIAL 1" ("one"),
    --"to speak to a representative."  
    ...Yeah, okay. Beep.
      EVIL woman/operator answers. My COMMON SENSE is on guard.    
      I dare not touch the hook, since the "bait" worm is plastic    
      -a FAKE-and it might even be poisonous.

      --EVIL woman identified as calling for Warranty Security, and that the  
      warranty(?) on my VEHICLE is about to "expire,"
      --but FIRST SHE had a few QUESTIONS.
    ...WHY does SHE FIRST want something FROM ME?  Code yellow.  
      Is she friend or foe? I tug on her fishing line.
    ...I ask HER a question, FIRST.  
    ..."You're representing what?"
      --EVIL woman-blah,blah, blah.
    ...I ask, "For which vehicle?"
      --EVIL woman asks ME, "Which vehicle did you purchase between 1999 and    
      2006?"
    ...This EVIL woman is a STRANGER -- Don't we warn our own kids about
       strangers? Come on, grown-ups! Remember to warn yourselves!
       EVIL woman already has taken time from my day.  She gets NOTHING
       else--NO info NOR money--from ME!

    ..."Which vehicle?", I ask again.
      --EVIL woman-blah, blah,the vehicle that needs the warranty renewed,
        blah, blah, you NEED to take care of your warranty, blah, blah.
    ...AHA!  NOW she is getting PUSHY.  How rude! The hook and bait are
      untouched, so she thinks she can net me!  Code Orange!
     
    ...I have survival savvy.  "Do you have a number, so I can contact you,  
      about this?", I ask.
      ---EVIL woman, "Uh, uh, not TODAY."

    ...CODE RED! DOWN, PERISCOPE! MAN YOUR STATIONS! BATTLE STATIONS!
      DIVE, DIVE, DIVE! (Siren--aaooOO-gah, aaooOO-gah, aaooOO-gah!)

    ...NO phone number?  
    ...Not "TODAY", huh?
    ...SEEK AND DESTROY!  TORPEDO ONE! TORPEDO TWO! Captain, we have hit the  
      target!    
      YESSSSS!  

    ... EVIL woman is seen no more--just a ripple in the muddy waters.
       (My trained brain cells are a loyal crew! They can go on leave, tonight,
       for a movie! Crew cheers!)
     
    ... No phone number?  
       Not today?
      "Too bad!", I say,
       and I hang up,
       FIRST!

    Got this call in class. Didn't answer it. I have answered a call before that claimed, "this is the second and final warning that your vehicle warranty is expiring". Something is very suspiscious and someone should do something. The funny thing is that I have never bought or owned a car.

    Capt.
    I apologize for accidentally re-submitting my telemarketer tale!.  

    HERE IS A GOOD OPTION !!!!!

    About five years ago, I began to get a number of anonymous phone calls.  I dialed my telephone company's customer service number, and rather quickly I got the advice:

    1.  Start keeping a log.  On a calendar, write the time of each call, always checking the phone #.  Do this for one to two weeks, if possible.

    2.  Then call your own phone company, and get correct info about
       handling harassing phone calls.
       Take notes of suggestions, and write on calendar--time, date, name  
       of operator, etc.

    3.  At the next telemarketer call, speak CALMLY and follow your phone  
       company's instructions.  NO TEMPER, SHOUTING, etc.
       You are talking to an experienced con artist.  The job is to
       manipulate YOU--that is easy, when you are upset.  
     
     [Even Clint Eastwood use calmness as a power.  The evildoer begins to
     lose a little focus, because it is harder to get you under his control.]
    -------------------------------
    DO NOT MENTION:
    home location, names, family members,
    marital status, pets, job, money, possessions,etc.
    ---------------------------------
    Need a speech?  Write YOUR VERSION of this script.
    Of course, use your own company's info and procedures.

    >"I have to inform you, that the phone company has been notified
    about you and your sales practices.
    (DON'T MENTION THAT IT WAS YOU, SPECIFICALLY.)
    >When oral and written testimony is submitted, the telephone
    company can tap phones, following policy.  
    >Phone company can decide to take legal actions against you.
    >The appropriate police division uses state and federal records,
    to track all "suspects" involved in the crime.
    >Your identity is at risk.  
    >Do not use my telephone number.  Never call me again."

    CASUALLY, HANG UP YOUR PHONE.
    ----------------------------------------
    DO NOT THREATEN.
    NOTICE I USED THE VERB "CAN", INSTEAD OF "WILL."
    IF YOU LIKE, USE "MAY BE ABLE TO", INSTEAD--
    JUST NOT TOO AMBIGUOUS
    --------------------------------------
    Has someone already mentioned contacting the Better Business Bureau?

    As someone mentioned, the woman Jennifer may or may not also be a victim.
    ------------------------------------------
    Telemarketers use computers.  I am told that after a certain number of rings, the computer "hangs up," if it detects that the response is only from an answering machine.  If there is a human response, then the telemarketer can decide whether or not to start speaking.
    ------------------------------------------
    NOTICE HOW MANY TIMES PHONE RINGS BEFORE STOPPING.  IF YOU HAVE AN ANSWERING MACHINE, DOES IT RING JUST THREE TIMES?
    You may be able to turn the "ringer" sound off, on your phone.
    ---------------------------------------------
    FIND A SERVICE THAT WILL REMOVE YOU FROM LISTS.  I WISH I COULD.  I GOT THESE CALLS, AND MY PHONE IS UNLISTED!  
    Did you know that "some" telephone companies give/sell their phone and address lists to the DIRECTORY "WHITE AND YELLOW PAGES" COMPANIES?
    AND THEN, the DIRECTORY companies SELL that info to other businesses.
    SUPPOSEDLY, the telephone company omits unlisted phone numbers when releasing the info, but you really need to call and sign something with the DIRECTORY PUBLISHERS, to keep your number private (as I have found out).  In my area, there are THREE independent DIRECTORY PUBLISHERS,and my number is in every one of them!  Contact them now, before the next printing.
    ----------------------------------------

    While you are at it, get off of junk-mail lists.

    -------------------------------------
    IT IS SO OFFENSIVE, THAT ANY COMPANY CAN "USE" ME, TO MAKE A BUCK,
    AND I AM NEVER TOLD.
