Spam phone call [View all]

I just answered the phone to a male voice on the other end saying "Hi Grandpa." I said hi and he asked me if I knew who this was, I said no and he said it was my oldest grandson. I said great, what is your birthday. He hung up.

I've had these calls before with them saying they need money for getting either themselves, or a friend, out of jail. This line of asking for their birthdate has done the trick.
