So, i read the [livejournal.com profile] smithies friendspage, and i've been reading about some woman with an Afro-Caribbean accent calling Smithies and it's this long thing which ends up asking for your credit card number or Social Security Number or something. I remember last year a woman from some weird business thing called and it was this long thing which ended similarly. I have yet to be woken up by the Whispering Woman, but just now my phone rang and i was hopeful because it was the off-campus ring and i'm expecting a number of people to call, but it was a female voice with an Afro-Caribbean accent: "[something unintelligible] You go to Smith College, correct?" "Yes, but I'm afraid I'm not interested, so I'll let you get on to your next person" take a breath while hanging up the phone. I learned well from my father how to deal with unwanted mass callings.

I was so scared about that, because I gave her my mom's name and said I had a checking account, but knew enough not to give my SSN. It's good to know that it's not just me, though. The next person to get her should really bitch her out through phone.
