I won the publishers clearing house contest several times in two weeks and all I had to do was send them the money to pay the tax on the prize. They were very persistant... I recognized the caller's voice. Plus, I hadn't even entered the damned thing. More recently the caller asks if I know who he is. then launches into his spiel which my terrible hearing saves me from his story. I now just tell them I have no time for their bullshit...then tell them to call Trump voters, cause they like cons and will believe anything.
