    Hi guys.....if you get a call from Comcast/Xfinity saying your service has gone from public to private and would you like me to help you set up a new password-bring a radio over, crank up the sound, and let it play for 5 minutes. No, don't do that(lol), but it is a phony call. Just a warning

    I guess that's what we have to do. Glad you got him to cuss you out :).

    I'll just crank up a BOSTON song.....those guys were good.....and LOUD.

    Correction-private to public.

    I couldn't figure out who was who LOL...I now presume the scammer was the one sounding scared.

    I have learned a few hindi insults. The reactions are usually on point.

    They are all annoying, but many of them are low life criminals targeting the most vulnerable of our society - - that's what really angers me.
