We have the kind of phone that announces who is calling, usually so we can ignore the call completely. I don’t know if it is just a Maine thing, or a US thing, but lately these caller IDs seem to have been having an attack of honesty. For a few months we’ve been receiving (and ignoring) calls from the delightfully named “SPAM RISK”, but this week, it’s been joined by a newcomer on the scene, “PROBABLY FRAUD”. On reflection, we decided to let them both go to messages. Does anyone else have honest caller IDs? If so, who has been calling you?
The continuing stories of a British family exiled (by choice) in the US and finding themselves in southern Maine.
