Cold Calls

Anybody getting frequent emails,phone calls,texts last few days? I'm afraid my phone might blow up.

Not a ton but lots of African scammers on LinkedIn. I read they are now scamming men and women on dating websites for money.

Have you recently given your number out for any type of loans? Car insurance? Healthcare? Lately I haven't been noticing as many for me personally

Nothing like that for me fortunately. Have had a few calls occasionally attempting to collect a debt. I don't owe anybody so it's either a scam or they think I'm Hispanic. (Their website is in Spanish)

Yeah I love when people with Indian accents call me claiming they work for the IRS. The call center chatter is hilarious.

Oh.....

Football season is getting ready to start. Lots of books trying to drum up business and probably cold calling is an effective marketing tactic for them

Use neither.

I use Skype to call sports books whenever I have a question. I never use my cell phone.

I used to use pay phones whenever I had to call a sports book when they were a thing. I can see it in my mind some sports book trying to get me to deposit and some bum off the street answering the phone.
