I had the same lass call me four times in one day. By the last one I was more than a little upset. Each call I'd told her that she and I both knew she was probably sitting in a scam center in Kerala, and could she please just save us both the wasted time and remove my number from their database. On the fourth one I’ll admit I lost my temper somewhat, and ended up telling her that if I ever received another call from her, I’d send one of my coworkers from our Kerala offices to find her and remove her ovaries with a spoon. Ive not had a call in six months :) (That threat tends to be weird enough that no-one is sure if you're joking, or really really serious :) )
