Anybody else ever have this problem with people calling you??..
...on your answering machine.

Sometimes I get calls that sound like this (caller talking extremely fast):

Hi: My name is JTKimm (Jim?..Tim?..Kim?...Lynn?.
"I'm calling about your account here at ReFuitreard (??????) and there is
something we need to talk to you about.
Please call me at areacode shateo, six, fouve / sever, eito, netwo, tresed,acktwo, fivour.

Christ!..These people sound like they got up in the morning..went outside, found a drug dealer,
..selling speed and swallowed every pill the person had.

Don't they train these folks to enunciate their words?

3. I get messages like that all the time on my answering machine.
People who can't speak, trying to either sell me something or fish for information for some type of scam.

Either way, there's no way I'd ever return one of those calls. Someone's paying these poor schucks to waste a lot of time. I hope it costs them a fortune.
