who is scam likely?
an old friend from elementary school?
someone i went to camp with?ย
an indy band?
someone i met at a carnival?
sam likely’s twin?
i’m not sure, but scam calls me often
he/she must feel rejected
as i never take their call.

What an unusual surname. You don’t find a lot of “Likely’s” in the phone book. Oops, there I go again showing my age. Funny post to start my day. Thanks, Beth!

My phone is set up so that any calls from a number not in my contact list goes straight to my voice mail. My voice mail says that if the caller doesn’t leave a message, the number will be blocked. I have over 300 blocked numbers, not that it matters. I need a new phone and I’m procrastinating since I don’t remember how I set this ‘transfer to voicemail’ up!

There might be another sibling named Spam. I get calls from Spam likely. They might really be androids.

Hi Beth,
I normally get calls from Potential Spam, It must be a relative of Scam Likely. They are just not a family we want to take calls from.
Run!

If it’s not one scam, it’s another.
Beth, it’s amazing how many lazy, (they think they are lazy, but can put quite a bit of effort into their “scam”), unscrupulous people internet has thrust upon the world. They make me think of insects, like bed bugs, lice, mosquitoes….all the blood suckers.
Anyway, guess what I’m going to do now. I’m going to read a children’s book. I’m reading a series.
Thanks for all the fab posts here today!
