My parents just moved in and we set up their VOIP phone so they can still take calls. Today they received three phone solicitation calls from the same place. My 94 yo father answered tonight. They said they would like a donation. He said, "I am 94 years old and I would like a donation too."
Solicitor #1: "Our minimum donation is $15."
Dad: "I would like that."
Solicitor #1: Let me connect you with our billing department."
Me: "What!"
Solicitor #2: "Hi! I'm here to set accept your donation. Would you like to donate $15."
Dad: "No. I would like a donation. I am 94 years old and only have my social security. How much can you give me?"
Solicitor #2: "I'm sorry. We are taking donations."
Phone goes dead. No one can stop laughing.
Coach dad that his minimum donation is 100 bucks payable by cash.
Sounds like your dad is clever.
I estimate it almost 100,000.00 missing.
Its almost impossible to talk to my mom about this. She had a heart attack and her nerves can't handle much. It's not the money even though it is my moms it's the lowest form of stealing from her own mom. Plz someone help me. My sister is a vengeful, mean person also my moms eyes are declining fast, my sister has had her sign things that she can't even read
Everyone should do that! Can I borrow that? Think I will!!!
One guy had the audacity to swear at me and tell me I was wasting his time. I replied "who called whom?"
Those telemarketers that tell you you're probably going to jail are the WORST. It's robo calling--so there's not a lot you can do.
I'd love to use your dad for an afternoon. My phone rings nonstop from 2-5 pm everyday and it's NEVER anyone I want to talk to!
"Why is that"? My mother said "Because I am 94, and, I don't understand why you would ask me such a dumb question." Duh, that ended that!
So funny! This is why I don’t want to live to be that old! Seriously, I do feel like some people don’t treat the elderly with respect. Sometimes they are condescending and even lack common sense when speaking to an older person. I bet the older person is saying to themselves, “Just wait until you reach my age!” Right? That’s what I would be thinking if someone spoke to me about not running in a marathon.
Apparently a scammer had called him to tell him his computer had a virus. Dad said he didnt have one. So the guy asked if he had a laptop?
Dad didnt know what he was on about - a Flat top?
Must have been the scammers best call of the day
😂 hahaha. LOL. That is funny!
I have to say that when those siding callers kept calling our number I borrowed his line. All I heard was dead silence on the other end. It was great! They never called back!
