get fucked!

My favorite response to scammers and people ringing doorbells selling religion (scam).

The only time I've spoke with one of these (because who answers a phone anymore), was about a decade ago. Told me my insurance was expiring on my car. I started to grab my card to read the numbers and renew. This stuff wasn't widespread and well known at the time.

I had a moment of clarity and asked, "what kind of car do I have?" Line went dead. I got pretty lucky as this was long before the internet had a bajillion reports of exactly this.

I'll prolly fall for something eventually. On a long enough timeline…
