We have a silent number, but still get random home phone calls. I tell my daughters to answer and say nothing, and then if it is the usual chinese or indian, hang up.
I answered one a week or so ago. She asked if Mr Shields was in. I said - in my worst impersonation of an elderly voice - yes (even though it isn't me), what do you want? She told me she was ringing about my medical insurance claim for $72,000 for my knee injury.
I told her there must be a mistake, as I was claiming $1.5million for a botched circumcision.
She said that was too much and that it must be for less. I then said "Luv, if you only saw how big it was before they lopped it off, you'd bloody be suing for $1.5mill too!" and hung up.
It's about the 10th insurance scam call I have answered. I am not sure what they hope to achieve with a wrong name and false claim, except maybe I could claim the money falsely...
