Not sure what the scam would have been, but I do love messing with them.

@jerry I get tons of these. It might be fun to mess with them, but in many cases the people on the other end have been trafficked by criminal syndicates and are forced to scam against their will.

I woke up this morning with the burning question on my mind:
What’s going on with that pan flute guy Zamfir I used to see selling his music on TV commercials back in the 70’s and 80’s.

I don’t know why my brain asks such questions, but I am happy to report he’s still around and apparently still performing concerts.

@jerry He’s sold more records than Elvis and The Beatles combined. Or maybe that was Slim Whitman.
