Like many other who have reported the same thing... my cell phone number has somehow gotten on the scammer's list... dozens of calls in a week or so. Nearly all with an East Indian accent with one exception. I was just ignoring the calls, then I decided to have a little fun with them. So now I answer and when they ask for "Cathy" as they always do, I say, "Hold one just a second, I'll get her. Oh, she has laryngitis so she can't speak very loudly so you'll have to listen very closely. Then I blast either a Fox40 emergency whistle or a marine air horn into the phone. It's still annoying to get these stupid calls but at least now I get my own chuckle out of it. I have noticed that since I started doing this yesterday, I've only gotten one call. It may just be a coincidence but perhaps at some point, they'll take my number out of the database.
