Be safe folks.....pick up the phone..

As close knit a community that we are here on the PCGS forum, we really do not know what is going on in
someone's life. Nor should we. However, that being said, please take the time to pick up the phone and
talk to whomever you are contemplating doing business with.
Be safe or at least safer.
Nothing like talking to someone on the phone. Vibes seem to travel very well on phone lines! I say this
for the fellows on the BST and in general as well. I like hearing a voice. It helps me make a decision and
I'll tell you that more than once I was happy I called and talked to the other forum member.

Be wise, be safe.

Peace,

    I have talked to a few fellows on the phone. In fact, most of my communications always include my e-mail address and phone number. I have no issue with saying hello. Just don't send me no freakin' text messages! image

    In general I concur with your advice. That said, some of the biggest scammers I've run into are also extremely smooth talkers, and I would, personally, speak with references with as much or more vigor if there were any concern on my part.

    Welcome to 1955!

    After somebody puts your number into an autodial machine you'll want to turn off that ringer.

    1955 was good. No answering machine, email or voice mail. Just pick up the phone and call. If you get a busy
    or the party line is in use, call back later. We do get impersonal with all the modern gadgets. I even have my
    kids text me. WTF is that? Pick up the phone and dial, don't waste your time on texting.
    I get a text and answer with a call. I think they don't like that! Maybe I'm wasting their time with BS and small
    talk and asking how the baby is or the kids are or what are their plans for the weekend, etc. Old fuddy duddy
    Dad. Just send him a text, he takes too much time on the phone!
    I get it.

    You might as well change your phone # now. Giving out your phone number on a public forum is asking for I.D. theft. They now have your name and address....

    LOL, I'm sorry but I'd like a few phone calls! Anything to spice up the day. Being retired as it's advantages but also it's disadvantages. I like
    to communicate and work filled that gap. Now it's just me and the wife and how much more can you come up with to talk about that hasn't been
    discussed in the last 45 years? Politics gets old, just like me!

    Call me!

    But, Okay, I'll edit my thread to eliminate my phone number. Just look me up in google or the Las Vegas white pages, or send me a PM......dang, I was
    trying to avoid this new fangled method of communication. CALL ME.
