As I was mashing my potatoes I had a call.

The man in the other side said that he was a doctor, a traumatologist from a hospital. He sounded as if he was eating something and he way he talked and the things he said were fishy. I even seemed to listed as if he was eating something. And doctors don´t eat while they call to tell of (I knew what he would say next) an accident. So I insisted what exactly did he want to tell me. And meanwhile I was very much worried for my bratwurst. I knew that Claudia would not contact me now, specially since she knew that I wasn´t going out. And Tania is not living here. I wonder, why don´t they take away cellphones from the hands of jailbirds? But then, people in jail also get weapons. So I hung up and now I ldon´t answer it. Most people call me to the cellphone is I don´t answer the other. I am curious. Where should I take money to save my daughter? granddaughter? grandson? other? S lives??? I´m old but not senile yet. I will fight against scammers. Do you have those where you live?

We have scammers asking for credit card donations, I hang up on them. One claimed to be collecting donations for the police officers. Jay knew this was a scam.

I get those calls every day. I usually don't answer if I don't recognize the caller's number.

I used to get calls that I had to send money to them to bail out my grandson. They hung up when I told them I have no children.

I suppose so, but therefore I am lucky I have no mobile phone or any phone I make calls if I need to or send messages through an Internet site Textnow, and my Gmail is good at putting the right mail into the Spam folder which I just delete,

We seem to have a lot fewer scammers than we used to have. I don't know why that would be.

I’m a bit confused. What exactly did he say? Pretty lousy scammer to sit and eat while doing this.

He wanted to speak to me. He said he was a doctor and was calling me from a hospital. I thought it was fishy as his accent was not as cultivated as a doctor´s. Then, listening to him and asking him to tell me what was all about, I seemed to listen that he was munching something while talking. Doctors don´t do that.

I was once very worried as I could hear someone with the same tone of Claudia´s voice crying. Fortunatly all that was done through the line phone so I dialed Claudia by the other phone and asked her where she was. Working, she answered and I hung up. From then on I could take care of the situation. And the bad guys gave up.
