We do answer the front door, of course when I say "we" I mean me as my wife doesn't like to do it. And we're in a neighborhood where we rarely get anyone calling.Isgrimnur wrote: Sat Jun 01, 2024 6:19 pm We don't even answer the front door unless the delivery driver needs us for something and rings the bell.
My dog is a sweetheart Catahoula/Aussie mix, but her bark sounds like a demon dog fully prepared to rip your throat out. We have a glass panel front door so when I get unsolicited visitors, I give her full reign to go nuts and jump at them against the glass. That's usually enough to scare them off. I got a Ring video one time of a solar panel guy literally running down my driveway after she got after him.Isgrimnur wrote:We don't even answer the front door unless the delivery driver needs us for something and rings the bell.

Bell does this over here. They tend to hire students and they are super aggressive in their tactics. To the point of not taking no for an answer. I snapped at them once.

Mostly I just say I'm not interested and close the door. If it is the local holy roller old folks pushing Jesus I just say no thank you in a polite voice. If it is some pushy type I put on my command voice. It doesn't hurt that I'm six foot and, as my niece told me one time, I always seem to look pissed off.

I've never let it get any further than that, then I block/report them if I haven't done that already. I know at some point, they are going to "fall in love" with me, then start asking for money.I get three or four of those a week. I always just Block Number them, not that that helps. I think my favorite was "I saw your profile on the dating app and wonder if you want to have a drink with me."Grifman wrote: Sat Aug 10, 2024 10:46 am The scam I get on a regular basis are text messages from people asking if I am a certain named person, or acting like they know me, and asking if I want go do something, like golfing, a movie, etc.
wait! I need that number. i can work from home and make tons of cash to fix my car and buy crypto from Musk so he'll stop whispering in my ear. This is great.Kraken wrote: Sat Aug 10, 2024 11:42 amI get three or four of those a week. I always just Block Number them, not that that helps.

I got peripherally drawn into one of those via an old high school friend. The same young lady friended both of us without realizing that we talk to each other. I kept her at arm's length while he (being single) let her in. She was a legit hottie who offered to go take care of him while he was sick, but first she had to go settle her dad's multimillion-dollar estate if only he would send her the money for airfare. He extracted some titillating pics from her before he sent her packing.Jeff V wrote: Fri Aug 16, 2024 12:01 am The ones that have been annoying me recently are the friend requests on FB, and boiler plate responses to my posts to the effect "I've always been impressed what you have to say." The profile pics, of course, are stunning. I ignore them all, but now I have to actively delete them because my wife from time to time looks at my phone and decides I'm cheating on her with these scammers.

A Missouri woman is accused of trying to defraud Elvis Presley's family of millions of dollars and steal the family's ownership interest in Graceland, the US singing legend's family home.
Lisa Jeanine Findley, who used a variety of aliases, was arrested for allegedly orchestrating a scheme to conduct a fraudulent sale of Graceland, located in Memphis, Tennessee home.
Ms Findley, 53, was federally charged with mail fraud and aggravated identity theft and was expected to appear in court Friday. If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison.
The Presley family has not publicly commented on the charges.
The US Justice Department claims Ms Findley posed as three different individuals associated with a fictitious private lender called Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC (Naussany Investments).
The DOJ alleges she falsely claimed Elvis Presley's daughter - Lisa Marie Presley, who died in January 2023 - had borrowed $3.8m (£3m) from Naussany Investments, pledged Graceland as collateral for the loan and failed to repay the debt.
Ms Findley allegedly was seeking $2.85m ($2.2m GBP) from Presley's family to settle the alleged debt, according to the DOJ.
Among the fraudulent actions she's accused of are allegedly fabricating loan documents, forging the signature of Elvis Presley's daughter and publishing a fraudulent foreclosure notice in one of Memphis’s daily newspapers, announcing that Naussany planned to auction Graceland on 23 May.
When the Presley family sued Naussany Investments attempting to stop the sale of Graceland, Ms Findley also allegedly submitted false court filings, the DOJ said.
The auction to sell Graceland sparked international attention earlier this year, after Presley's granddaughter, actress Riley Keough, claimed that the paperwork on the loan was fraudulent. She said that her mother's signature was forged.
Ms Keough inherited Graceland, which has long been a public museum honoring Mr Presley, and much of Presley's estate after her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, died last year.
She filed a legal action to stop the planned auction and a Tennessee judge agreed.
At the time, Graceland and Elvis Presley Enterprises issued a statement to the BBC: "As the court has now made clear, there was no validity to the claims."
This is known as the "pig butchering" scam. [Forgive me if this has been explained before, as it likely has.]Grifman wrote: Sat Aug 10, 2024 10:46 am Why are you guys even going to the front door.? I just look out the window and if it is someone I don't know, I just don't answer. After a few minutes, they go away, problem solved.
The scam I get on a regular basis are text messages from people asking if I am a certain named person, or acting like they know me, and asking if I want go do something, like golfing, a movie, etc. Then if you respond you don't know them or you are not that person, they say they are sorry, must have had the wrong number, then they start being friendly with you, sometimes sending a photo. It's invariably a cute Asian woman. Ah, if only that were true

Good thing too. I heard she reads ALL those emails that are sent out in her name and will respond with her fists if she doesn't like what you say.
