Once every few days I get a call from a female with an odd name some sort of
accent (different each time) drumming up contributions for the "Four
Corners...." I assume this is the Indian tribe that owns the spot where four
states come together. They charge admission to stand on the spot, and it turns
out that there was a surveying error and the REAL four-corner spot is miles away.
Anybody else get these? They've been going on for months. I have become quite
abusive to these people. I yell insults at them. If I had a police whistle
handy I'd try to deafen them.
WTF is wrong with these people?

Cheers,

Nope, just you.

You'll burn...

They ask the same question about you. Cant imagine why for the life of me.

I doubt if they call Oz, although it might do as much good.

I'm going to find that police whistle...
If they need money they should open a casino. The world is full of loons eager
to toss money away, especially in a pretty place -- and that area is about as
beautiful as it gets.

Tell them that you will be glad to make
a contribution but that you have to get
your checkbook to see how much you can
afford. Then just let them sit there.
Or ask them to send info to you but give
them the address for the FTC

Stop answering your phone like a Pavlovian dog and you'll get rid of
those unwanted calls. At the very least, if you must answer the phone,
ask them to put you on their do not call list, and be sure to register
with the federal do not call list.
