Scam Me. Spam Me.
by Kyle Souza
I get calls from spammers and scammers (just like everyone else), but (unlike most) I answer them and talk for as long as I can.

I get more calls from people I don't know than from those that I do, granted I have fewer friends than I do opposable thumbs, but still, it's annoying when it's just spam calls, and angrying when it's a scammer - not because they could scam me, but because they are succeeding with other people, usually elderly people, whom hold a special place in my heart. We all get those calls from numbers that we shouldn't get calls from; usually they're trying to sign me up for a credit card or loan, other times they tell me there's an IRS issue or that I have a computer virus. Microsoft, Google, Dell, HP, Apple... whoever - they don't call individuals about viruses. Don't le
