Good for you Jean!! I had several calls from Internat to speak to my daughter.[Shiralee is deaf] In the end I had to threaten them with the police several times before they stopped .

The first time I got a we're calling about your credit card account call, I nearly had a heart attack. It was only with the second sentence I'm registered with the telephone preference service, so I rarely get unsolicited calls. I've heard of ways of dealing with unsolicited calls, apart from putting the phone down. If it's about a credit card, you could listen to the schpeil and them give them the number of your supermarket loyalty card if you have one. Probably won't fool them because the first four numbers on plastic cards identify who the issuer was and they must know the numbers used by all the credit companies, but it wastes their time if you're prepared to waste some of yours. My favourite is that as soon as I realise it's a spoof call, I say Hang on a minute and put the receiver down beside the phone. After about ten minutes they'll have rung off, but it will have cost them money for all the time they were holding waiting for you to return. It also means the call centre employee isn't earning anything in that time. One I did that to rang back and said We seem to have been cut off. I said, No, I decided that, as you wanted to waste my time, I'd waste yours instead. and I put the receiver beside the phone again. 10 minutes later I checked and she'd disconnected, so I replaced the receiver. The phone rang again and she yelled at me You're pathetic! I said You're the pathetic one for ringing me back to tell me I'm pathetic and for not getting a worthwhile job instead of bothering people who have no interest in anything you have to say. and put the receiver down beside the phone again. She didn't ring back again.

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Ligeti Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz , where it is officially the first day of Spring (Sept. 1st) after the coldest winter for 10 years - so they tell us! [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are also supposed to start spring today but it is the coldest it has been all winter. We live in a winter rainfall area and had very heavy rain over the weekend with snow on the high mountains - a wonderful sight for all of us as we are not used to snow. The snow stays for a week or two while we gawk at the sight. The minimum temperature here has dropped to about 5 degrees Celsius and the daytime temp yesterday was about 12 degrees which to us is just about freezing temp!!

Those emails are not from legitimate banks - they are spam. No real bank would ever send you an unsolicited email asking you to verify your details. Just hit the delete button, and DONT reply.

Just hit the delete button, and DONT reply. Worse than just spam - they are phishing, hoping to entice you into entering your information, so they can rip you off. Even if it is your very own bank where you have accounts, NEVER fill in that sort of detail when requested by an e-mail. The other thing is spoofing, filling in a fake From address - that's how you get spam ostensibly from yourself, and why you should not blame your friends for sending you spam of the male enhancement sort (can't answer for the chain-letter sort; that might really be from your friend!). The spam-generating program can take your address book and send to everyone in it, and spoof the return address as being from anyone in it as well. All is not what it seems on the surface. -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
