Simon, I think you need to find other avenues for recreation. (smiles) But if you insist, see how long you can keep one of those scammers on the line and tell him help is on the way. You know, Interpol or Scotland Yard or MI5. See if he buys it. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@ic

99% of the phone numbers are used once. Its easier and cheaper to take advantage of the Favorites feature in the phone app. And when things get hot and heavy during election campaigns, the mute switch is handy. The strategies that scammers use are constantly evolving. When/if the powes that
