+011 calls

Post by Tsa la gi »

I understand these are out of country calls, I don`t answer them as they could get expensive. Wonder if any one else has received any?
Besides that what would a foreign country want with my Patch Hounds? :lol:

I am serious about the =011 calls,I`ve got 9 on my phone Verizon says it`s out of country and seeing as how we have some folks on here out of the country thought some one else might have got some calls.

I don't know how these cell phones work, but on the land the caller pays the crown and you gossip for free... :biggrin:
When I rang the UK, it cost me 50cents per min., fifteen and thirty dollar calls were common but what is money amongst friends.
You are right to be cautious, most legit connections are made through "friends", not random calls of inquiry. There are lots of anti kooks over there who enjoy giving hunting any grief they can muster and utube and website gives them a contact point or number to target.

Mostly what I saw, UK, Wales, Germany , France and some US NBC club members work together when drafting hounds. Clear Creek, Woodfield & Farmington are a few I've been associated with in the States. You have to be a registered member of the AMHB (Hunting Packs).

Thanks guys, I have had three this morn. Called verizon again,calls originate from Asia.???? Ain`t that the place where they cut ur fingers off for medlin? Think I`ll just show off in my video`s :cool: UNLESS they wan`t oversized hounds to run over sized rabbits over there. :roll: Also the rep told me to go ahead and answer the next call,hell probably can`t understand them any ways.

At 37 years old, Ive learned not to live paycheck to paycheck anymore....... :check: I gave up all my other hobbies, so I could spend more time with the beagles; its what I enjoy the most, besides my family. I only have 1 beagle right now, so I go through a bag about every 6 weeks. When you have dogs as good as mine, you dont need very many.......... :idea:

Nothing here to spend money on, so my wife and kids are enjoying a few extra $$$ each month. :nod:

I work outside 6 hours a day, and 6 hours behind a computer. The beagle board helps me keep my sanity......

I did loose a friend yesterday with two more badly injured.

I do read some of the comments to my battle buddies.....they really dont get into dogs, so its just me laughing.....they might think I need help....maybe I do :???: Some of them read my beagle magazine if they get bored......

I also had one of those calls and then charged for it, probably came from the cell phone company so they could make money.
Mybeagles,
Hopefully we can help you keep your sanity, most people think we are insane for running dogs like we do. Thanks for being in the Army and making the sacrifices that come because of that.

Got another call about an hour ago,could hardly understand him. Told me who he was all the time i`m recording this.I kept asking him what he wanted to no avail. Wanted to know if I could confirm my address. I said I was not confirming any thing cause I didn`t know what sort of SCAM he was running (CLICK). My carrier told me to answer and find out what it was about and he would see taht I did not get charged for it. There is all kind of SCAMERS out there.
