Annoying Phone Calls...

edited November 2010 in All Encompassing Trip
So I recieved a phone call on my cell about a week ago.

Lady: "Is Helen there?"
Me: "You have the wrong number?"
Lady: "Do you know Helen Maguire?"
Me: "No, you have the wrong number."
Lady: "Well do you know Helen's husband Charles?"
Me: "No, I don't! YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER."
Lady: "Well can I ask your name?"
Me: "My name is Julie."
Lady: "Hi Julie, I'm calling you from the Philippines."
Me: "Okay.."
Lady: "Can I ask you a question? How do you feel about god?"
Me: "I'm sorry but i'm not a very religious person and I don't really have an opinion about god right now."
Lady: "Well how do you feel about the Church of Latter Day Saints?"
Me: "Look, I'm about to get into my car and drive and here in Canada it is illegal to do so."
Lady: "Okay no problem. When is a better time for me to call you back?"
Me: "Don't call me back. Bye."

She has called my phone twice a day for the past week. I've hit the ignore button on my phone everytime thinking she would get the hint but she keeps calling. It's probably a scam, she probably wants money out of me. There's millions of cell phone numbers out there, how'd she get mine?

Any other simillar calls? or scams?

    You're not really all that surprised are you dc?

    Next time just tell them you need to talk to your magic hat and get your angel chaps on, I'm sure they will hold long enough for you then.

    Actually no, I guess I'm not. There will always be a vehicle for religious solicitation.

    Try answering it like you're a detective at a crime scene, and the caller is now a person of interest in the case. I tried this a few times and it's hard to keep from laughing out loud.

    'How did you know the victim?'
    'Where were you at 2:30 in the morning?'
    'I'm gonna need your contact information, DOB, address, etc.'
    'Oh, you're a telemarketer? I also need your supervisor's contact information to back that up.'

    The trick is to interrupt them before they can answer. Then they get all scared/confused and hang up. They'll never call again.

    I'm going to get my husband to do this next time she calls :lol:
    I know if I were to do it I would ruin it and start laughing.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Thanks for the suggestions :D
    Unfortunately she didn't call yesterday. I think that was the first time in the last week that she didn't call. I feel like calling the number back to see where it goes to but then i'll probably get a million dollar phone bill. Damn scams. If she calls my husband say's he's going to ask her how she feels about the devil :lol:

    Nothing beats the look on the missionaries faces when you answer the door stark naked with one of these:
