Yesterday, I received a weird call on my old folk's mainline. An Indian guy was speaking and asked if I was the main user of the computer at home. At first, I was surprised. I finally reply with a: "no English" - the easiest way to get rid of marketing/spam calls - and was looking to hang up immediately after, but he just got the chance to reply with a: "I know you are speaking English, you just had spoken English to me". After that, I hang up. He called immediately after, and I simply hang up. After that, he stopped calling. Those types of calls are scammers and they can be really dangerous. Actually, I shouldn't have spoken at all, I should have only hung up.
I keep telling my old folks from time to time to never give any information over the phone, not to answer anything, and not to confirm any information. It's good to provide a reminder to senior citizens from time to time that those types of situations can happen because that way when such calls occur, they'll be more alert. It can be almost intimidating to received spam calls, especially if it's a human being that is doing the call and not a machine. I had received some scammer calls before, mostly recording messages, with all kinds of weird things that were just not making any sense at all, like the border agency is looking to arrest me or other hilarious shit. Oh, one time, I got a machine message saying that my social assurance number was going to expire... I taught: great, I no longer have to pay taxes LOL.
Yesterday, I took a couple of pictures at what can be named a local park I guess.
