Mother bear takes the call.

My daughter, a highly functioning autistic adult, got a scam call today!

They tried to get her social security number!

She'd hang up and they keep calling back,trying to tell her she had cerdit debt.
She's never had cerdit of any kind.

Finally, frustrated she handed thd phone to me.

I told them she's had no cerdit debt is an autistic adult and to stop calling.
They argued they wanted to speak to Katherine.

I hung up on them.

They immediately called back.

Gee,fella the gig was up,you didn't get that?😡

I showed my daughter how to block unwanted calls on her phone and stressed,again, to my daughter the imoprtance of not giving out your social security number to anyone who calls you over the phone. (sigh)

Scam calls are horrific. I got one during a D&D session once so to mess with the person who activates the recording system I had the DM continue narrating to confuse whoever was on the other end.

Worked fine until SOMEONE (one of the other players) decided to say the magic word "Hello"

@JustADnDNerd sorry, I'm really dumb to what that's about, plus I'm old, but if someone tried to scam you, I'm sorry

@anxietyme It was one of those car's extended warranty things (Joke's on them, I can't drive).

@JustADnDNerd I got one of those right after I bought my car, outright, I told him I don't have a car warranty.*click*

@anxietyme when will they learn?

@JustADnDNerd if there's any money to be had they never will. A lot of them purposely go after people with disabilities and the elderly it is pretty disgusting.

@anxietyme You can say that again.
