This!


Did they call back? It may have been a scam call.
I received one recently from a woman who said she was with the South Dakota Board of Health.
I don’t normally answer unknown numbers, but I was expecting a call about a defective item I purchased online. Often online businesses contract out their customer service departments.
It took a few seconds for me to register what was said, “This is Julie calling from the SD Dept. of Health. Is _____ there?” (She used my legal given name, not what I go by with family and friends. This quirk has come in handy for years!) I asked her, “How’s the weather out there?” She paused and said, “Cloudy, I’m calling to—“. I cut her off by saying, “Wrong number!” and hanging up. The last time I was in South Dakota was 1969! She didn’t call back, sure sign of a scam!
Or maybe I was going to be offered a free SD vacation for getting the jab? 💉
