Don't ever listen to these telephone scam artists! You did the right thing by reporting that, Shezbut, I hope these people can be stopped. At the very least, they will stop calling you
Thank you Visioneer!

Phew ~ glad that I didn't trust him & have put him off. I hope that these scammers get caught soon!

Thanks for responding to my post. I appreciate it!
