answer phone if I don’t know the number, but my husband answered it and the discussion went on for a minute, so I picked up and listened in, and that’s when I told her she was trying to scam me. She was rather hard to understand as well.
Another well worn scam is we want to buy your house, then they hear click! I sometimes wish I had a old type phone so I could slam the phone down🤬
