Re: [lace-chat] Warning
We got a phone call last week. I picked the phone up and said 'hello'. I was immeadiately hit with the person on the other end saying very fast; 'you'll never guess where I am'. As I didn't recognise the voice or the number (we have caller display which shows you the name of the caller if I've stored the number ie everyone I know) .. So I just said ... 'No, I can't guess and I've no idea who you are either.' There was an audible gulp at the end of the phone and a sheepish voice said; 'o, I've got the wrong number' and hung up. Two days later the same number rang again and said before I could even get out a 'hello' ...'I'm just letting you know I'm home'. 'Great', I said, 'and who are you?' phone went dead again.

Re: [lace-chat] Warning
In the UK you can register your telephone number with the TPS (Telephone Preference Scheme) which works with all UK based callers - but not international one or scam artists. Also, once registered, don't let callers tell you that you have to re-register each year. This is utter rubbish. I used to work for BT and if we called people on the TPS scheme for marketing calls without their permission they could sue for compensation. It's that serious.

Re: [lace-chat] Warning
[with apologies for duplication to Lesley Blackshaw - when I sent this yesterday I was in a hurry to go out to an appointment and pressed on 'reply' instead of 'reply all' -- Linda] I used to get these calls too, but I seem to have put a stop to them. (Crossed fingers!) Like you, Lesley, one of these calls arrived on a day when I was prepared to waste time on it. Usually I just told the girl that I didn't have a computer, or to 'go phishing elsewhere' and the call would be ended sharply, but a few days later there would be another one - very tiresome. The main problem is not just to stop the call at the time, but to find a way to cause them to never want to call you again. Simply putting down the 'phone or being rude to them can produce 'revenge' calls. Twice I've had a series of calls in the middle of the night, and when you pick up the call it simply goes to a little recorded 'goodbye' message. (This was exceptionally annoying when we were worried about a relative who was very sick in hospital.) They are impossible for British Telecom to trace, of course, but I recognised the voice on the recording from other calls. So this time I decided to go along with them, and was transferred at once to her 'supervisor'. I pretended to follow his directions, but also put in lots of jokes and flirtatious remarks. Anyone listening to a recording would know at once that I was merely spoofing him, but as he took it all seriously I continued. A couple of times he wondered if I was really entering his instructions, and I assured him I was - although tapping the keys helped me to have honesty in my voice, I didn't tell him that the computer was switched off, and I did make notes of what he was asking me to do. Of course, I could only guess what he might have expected the computer screen to be showing. Finally, he had a tantrum and announced that he would strike my name from his list, so that no-one would ever offer to help me again, and I would be left with the problems still on my computer, then he cut off the call in a huff. (Dearie, dearie me! And he must have wasted a good quarter of an hour on me, during which he wasn't annoying anyone else either.) Success! There haven't been any calls since then, (several months ago); and, as there never were any problems with my computer, I'm perfectly satisfied with it. Since then I've tried other sorts of acting to get rid of this kind of repeat scam callers. A good one is to keep saying Hello? as though you can't hear them, (I see this as revenge for the sort of call where it is silent when you first pick up). Another tactic is to pretend that the line is very bad, that you can hear their voice but not what they are saying, and ask them to call back another time - it's surprising how often they never do. (I developed this one when we really were having trouble with the line, and a man was working away on the box at the end of the road for two days.) Maybe these will help others - does anyone else have any schemes that have worked? I'd really like to know!

I DO have both on the U.S. do not call list. Once you put your name on that, marketers can't call you, except under certain circumstances. They can call you if you've done business with their company in the past two years. Also, certain categories are exempt from the law. Political campaigns can call you, and market/ opinion research people can call you. Usually if you ask to be put on their own do not call lists they will comply. There is actually a very simple way of dealing with them, unless you actually enjoy picking up the phone and trying to give them indigestion, which will really do more to give you indigestion, since they have a job to do and thick skins. I know as I've been them. Anyone who can't handle being yelled at by people has a different job. Some of them ARE forbidden to hang up on you, though, so they'll sit there and listen to you cuss for as long as you wish to waste your breath. And ESPECIALLY, don't trouble calling back to yell at who whose number you don't recognize called your phone. LOL! Honestly! If you don't want to be bothered, don't answer the phone, and don't be bothered! Get caller ID, and then don't pick up the phone if you don't know who's calling. If they've a legitimate reason to call you, they'll leave a message on your voice mail, and you can call them back, and thereafter you'll know who they are. My cell phone tells me who people are by name if I have them in my address book.

Being listed on the Telephone Preference Service in the UK, Do Not Call list in the US or whatever in other countries is no help if the company calling uses random dialling. Neither is being ex-directory (not listed) as we are. We've only had about 10 cold calls in the past 15 years. I did have fun telling one caller to hold on a minute and left the phone for 10 minutes before checking if she'd rung off. As soon as I put the phone back on the hook she called again saying we appeared to have been cut off, and I told her we hadn't, but I'd left the phone until she'd disconnected, and then I hung up again.. She called back a third time to tell me was pathetic for doing that; I pointed out that she was the pathetic one for bothering to phone back to tell me I was pathetic, and then I hung up. She didn't bother again. I have asked how they got the number because I was ex-directory. In some cases I got an apology and the caller has rung off, others said it was random dialling so we couldn't stop it. On a couple of occasions I asked the person for their home phone number so I could call them at home at some time inconvenient to them. Now I just either say nothing and leave the phone on the side for 10 minutes or just hang up immediately. Can't be bothered with games any more.

Re: [lace-chat] Warning
I once got a telemarketer call from a woman who asked for me by name. I had received enough telemarketer calls that I didn't want to tell her I was who she was asking for or not, so I asked who was calling. She said she couldn't tell me until she knew if it was me. I said I couldn't acknowledge if that person lived here or not until I knew who was calling. She repeated she couldn't say until she knew I was the person she asked for. It went round and round for at least 10 minutes. I could tell she was getting frustrated, and I was getting kind of bored with it so I hung up. I almost always ask who is calling now. We get a lot of automated calls now and I have been putting them on a call blocker list, but they seem to have millions of numbers they can call from, or else they have ways around the blocker. We screen some through our caller ID, but some you can't really tell as Pay as you Go cell phones just come through as wireless caller.

I got a book on poisonous plants back in the early 1970s mainly because the owner of the stables where we kept our horses wasn't very good at controlling weeds (being plants growing where they shouldn't). Apart from too many buttercups in hay and ragwort in fields, part of the grounds had been a garden, and many garden plants are poisonous to horses and/or cattle. Different parts of plants at different stages of ripeness can be poisonous. Many plants can be poisonous to any one or more of cats, dogs, humans, horses, cows, etc, so whereever we'd lived since then I've always dug up and burnt any which are likely to cause problems.

[lace-chat] Warning to ebayers
Thought this warning was very important to cross post to warn anyone who buys on ebay of a new type of scam rmail that I got yesterday. It was supposedly from a seller, although it started 'Dear seller', asking if I was still interested in their item. It had a link identical to the real ones which go to an item for sale, and when clicked on led to a genuine-looking sign-in page, which you are sometimes adked to do. I closed that, went to ebay in the usual way and searched for the item number - it didn't exist. I forwarded the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and they've confirmed that it was a scam email. What alerted me to it being phishing was that: (1) It started 'Dear seller', when it should have been 'buyer'. (2) I've not bid on anything I haven't won in the last couple of weeks, and I haven't asked a seller a question so I haven't expressed interest in anything. (3) The sign-in page the link led to started hhtp://www.181.10... , which isn't how the address of genuine ebay sites start. The email looked right in every other way, using ebay's text and logos. If you've been caught by this one, and entered your details, change your password now, and contact ebay.
