Yep, for you or I, but to some little old blue haired lady ........ who is frightened to death at the word 'arrest' .... well, she would very likely just give them the information.

I didn't get a lot of unsolicited calls to begin with, but now I seem to be getting less. When I do get one now, I let them make their spiel and then I fully take charge of the phone call. First, I ask them how old they are. Then the questions get a lot more personal and definitely NSFW. When they stutter and stammer or get indignant...I happily remind them it is 'they' who called me. They must have wanted to 'talk'. I used to just hang up on them, but now I stay on the line asking questions until they hang up. It has become quite the fun game for me, but I think my number is slowly being weeded out of the system. I don't get as many calls as before.
