It happened like clockwork

I just received my semi-annual phone call from the scammer that starts out saying "Hi grandpa." My response is always "tell me your birthdate." Then I hear the click and know this will happen again in about six months or so.

that starts with "Hi Grandma". I simply laughed, because I don't have, and will never have, any grandchildren.
