On one occasion I answered the phone without saying hello. I over heard some one calling the name "Gooney" or "Goobey".  When I did say hello, he then proceded with his line of being the State of Texas food inspector.

This young man called again 4 times while I was out for the afternoon. Lucky me I got a voicemail acct set up where I can screen my calls. Well Miss D hit the nail on the head. It must have been a full moon and his name is Looney!! Actually I overheard someone call him Gooney while he was asking for a donation. This time he said he was calling on behalf of the humane society. Humane society of what and whom?? Really am getting tired of these phone calls.

I have also received similar phone calls everyday several times a day, but he says that he is in a State Hospital needing help with covering the cost of medical bills and food. He tells me to send money only hundred dollar bills and the amount of $5,000 and food that can be shipped to the State Hospital in Big Spring, Texas (never heard of the place) and he gives the address. After I tell him he has the wrong number he proceeds to tell me that I am his family and that he will be waiting for my money and food and if its not sent he will call several times a day. If his name is "Gooney" or "Goobey" it should be changed to "Looney"!!

I receive phone calls from this number on a daily basis. The caller is a male. He claims he works for the State of Texas as a food inspector. He wants to know what items of food that I have eaten the past few days. Claims to have recalls for items like cheese, lettuce and some fruits. He asks that I send him other food items so that he can inspect them and also asks for donations to cover expenses. I am on the "Do Not Call" list but it does not seem to be preventing over-weight scam artists from calling me.
