I talk to them when they call.

I talk to them but hurry them off because I have to run down to target and get a thousand dollars in gift cards to send to the social security police in Pakistan in order to prevent my arrest.

Funny, the only people I was able to sell tickets to were people with accents and last names that seemed like they were recent immigrants from countries like Pakistan and such.

You know, you'd think no one falls for that crap, but I've had at least three or four calls from people with advanced degrees who are either halfway there with the gift cards or belatedly realize they got scammed and wonder if there's anything I could do about it.

Some of those scammers keep our guys strung along for days.

They’re getting clever. A “Mark Anderson” with a thick Pakistani accent called a client last week and offered forbearance on a defaulted loan that’s in litigation. Told the client wire had to be sent by that afternoon. That means the scammer had to have accessed online dockets that require registration with the county in which the property is located.

My car is subject to about 30 recalls and counting at this point. And the warranty people are calling incessantly as well.

My accounts with Wells Fargo have all been hacked also. And somebody urgently needs to talk to me about it. I wasn’t aware I had so many Wells Fargo accounts or actually any at all. But I’m glad someone’s protecting them.

Rudeness is rudeness. That kid should learn not to call people without their consent.

>>This is hilariously bad.

Rudy does not understand he needs to file a motion for leave before filing the amended complaint. He keeps saying he wants to file it.

Even I -- who only go to federal court when dragged -- know this.
