You might ask someone in law enforcement what recourse you have.<br /><br />My favorite of your choices is the Indian service tech.

(Of course, anyone ignorant enough to keep making those calls probably doesn't have the intelligence to appreciate class when he hears it.) We haven't gotten any crank phone calls in quite a while, but a fax machine is forever dialing our number. Talk about annoying! Nothing but a string of electronic beeps and bips when ya answer the phone, and those calls come in clusters, like twenty or so in a day.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-89918734344628750222012-07-16T08:15:08.381-04:002012-07-16T08:15:08.381-04:00My personal favorites would be the "pretendin...My personal favorites would be the "pretending to be a police officer" or quoting Shakespeare. Or you could pretend to be a Shakespeare-quoting police officer, which incidentally would also make a really fantastic book character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
