Called this morning. Started chatting with my answering machine asking for someone by name (not me, though.) No message, but sounded like a big room full of callers (telemarketers? collectors?) with background noise and an echo.

A guy who called himself George came on as if he was a long lost friend. Told me we had talked last year. I told him that was a flat out lie, that his business practices were sleazy. That when told me that I was sleazy and to get off his phone!  He would not tell me who he worked for.

Called asking for "Sara" told them there was no one by that name here. Then said, "ok bye Sara"

Claimed they talked to me last year about home improvements. We always tell them that we have a family member who is a contractor and does all our work for us, and tell them not to call again. Bad enough that they call, but their lies are outrageous.

They have called several times.  Finally answered the call this morning only to have them sit there & not say anything.  They finally hung up.  Added their number to our blocked call list.
