Bob Smith is my brother-in-law, a genuinely good and decent guy. I'm sure he is tired of everybody dumping all that crap on his credit history. Please find another name to use when discussing your financial issues with the nice gentleman or lady with marginal "English as a second language" issues sitting in a phone bank in a foreign country answering your calls.

Spread the Disease
| I've been getting calls about my 3-digit overdue power company bill. Except it's with a power company that isn't in my area and I don't connect to.

| All the scams ive been getting lately, in text, voicemail, email, etc. all use the word “kindly.” Kindly make your payment to recover funds Kindly submit info to released package Kindly update payment to access your Neftlix (sic) account Kindly follow the link to review debits and make purchase. I guess thats a customer servicey buzzword to try to garner trust in their target demographic or something. I dunno. But I never hear or see that word outside of scams nowadays.

I use "kindly" quite freqently in spoken and written communication...and not in a facetious, sarcastic or flippant manner...FWIW. |

Page late and a dollar short
| Expecting a phone call from my health insurance broker about Medicare for 2023, see an unfamiliar number but the correct area code so I answer it. Automated message “This is Customs. A package has arrived for you, please press 1 to be connected to an agent regarding this package” I was so excited with the news that I inadvertently pressed the “end call” button instead of “1”. Now I’ll never know what the package was!
