I'm sitting at a dock yesterday waiting to get loaded and I get a text. No name and a number I don't recognize. It said "time to renew your loan, send me your taxes, insurance info and social security number".

Now I may have been born yesterday, but I've been awake all night, so there is no way I sending my info to an obvious scam. But I had nothing to do, so I decided to have a little fun rather than just ignore it. I fugured a little morning internet arguement was just what I needed to pass the time while I waited. So I replied, "I think I just won't pay that loan", figuring this would bring a quick response something along the lines of "Why don't you want to pay your debts"? I figured I could give a long list of reasons why.

Sadly my plan went awry when about 30 seconds after I sent my reply my phone rings, same number. Now I'm thinking this guy is really determined, til I hear his voice and recognize him. It was Larry, the guy who holds the contract on our house, and he is unhappy and wants to know why we don't want our house anymore. It appears that time flies and it is time to renew the loan on our house as per the contract. Ooops!

After I quickly explained that I lost my phone a while back and most of my contacts with it so his name didn't come up and I thought it was a scam to steal my identity, we had a good laugh about it. Guess I'll be a little more careful about who I try to have fun with from now on!
 
Not to try to "one up", but it sounds like what happened to my neighbor!

He got a call from a friend to come pick up a deer he just hit on the road. The deer didn't die from the collision, so the responding LEO shot the deer in the lungs and wrote out a salvage tag and gave it to the guy who hit the deer. Well, the guy who hit the deer was late for work so he left my neighbor to take care of the details, but my neighbor didn't get the salvage tag before he went home.

Fast forward and my neighbor is at home skinning out the deer when the game warden comes around the corner of his garage and asks if he has a tag for that deer. Without looking up from his work because he thought somebody was pulling his leg, he says, "HE!! NO, and I ain't gonna get one either!"

At that point, the game warden took out his badge and they had a conversation. It was sorta difficult to explain it was a road kill with a bullet hole through the rib cage. A few phone calls later everything was sorted out, but he was sweating bullets for a little bit!
 
Shoulda told the guy, "I'm sick of busting my hump so someone else can live the life of luxury on welfare. (full bennies is something in the neighborhood of $33,000 in Ny) Gonna quit work and sign up me own self", and see what kind of reaction you got. (smile)
 
I thought it was funny when you said you were waiting to get loaded. And that was just the first line.

He should have had all that info if he had the loan before.
To lazy to look it up.
