Got a robo-call today claiming to be from Amazon Prime

"Your Amazon Prime account will be automatically renewed at a cost of $39.95. I f you don't wish to renew press 1."

I pressed one. Told the guy I don't have an Amazon Prime account and I've never even once in m,y life shopped Amazon.

He said they must have made a mistake and If I would just give him my credit card number they would be able to sort it out.

I told him to F**K Off and hung up.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

You should have given him some random numbers that spelled “Hey Fuck Off Asshat”...

Wow. I got one today, too. Real bad robo pronunciation. Couldn’t understand most of it.

Good for you, TT.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

I believe the correct term is "scammers." No nation or race has a monopoly on scamming. It's an equal opportunity crime.

I don't own either of those and haven't the slightest desire to own either of those.

How many people with American accents have called you from the Social Security Administration asking for gift cards?
