Dang scammers. I got an phone call that the number looked legit, not just from USA or some tiny town in Oklahoma or some other state. So I answered it, as it might be a customer.
It was a call center, and they said my American Express had possible fraudulent charges. I had an American Express Gold card back in the 70s and 80s when I was broke, because I knew I HAD to pay it off every month. I shut it down back in the mid 1980s and I will never again pay for the honor of carrying a credit card. No annual fee for me anymore.
Anyway, I played along and asked what was bought. She could not tell me that, until I read the number on my card to her. I figured they should know the number if they called me, so I changed the subject and asked it she liked puppies. She kept trying to get back to the card, and I said hang on I have to go pee. I put the phone down and left her hanging for four minutes. I came back and asked if she liked flowers, and told her about a trip to a rose garden in Texas I went to. I wasted about 15 minutes of her time. She got mad at me for wasting her time, and I told her she called me, so she was at fault for wasting my time. She finally hung up on me so I guess I got the only revenge possible.
