Jon’s probably calling a scam

Jon was just about to tell off the telemarketer, then changed because he wanted to look stronger. So close.

Telemarketers hate it when you try to sell them something. They also don’t like being told about Jesus. (never mind how I know this)

If I do accidentally pick up with a telemarketer, I hang up as soon as I realize it. No abuse, no attempt to mess with their heads, just end the call without saying anything.

But I wonder if I can find a beedle beedle beedle ringtone.

Got phone set to accept or decline when it rings, if display shows anything but names in my contacts, I press decline.

Sounds like Jon’s ringtone is from Twiki from Buck Rodgers. (Beedle, Beedle, Beedle)………

Garfield, smash the phone now.

There shoulda be capital punishment for spam and scam callers. Only way to gets rid of those pesky bas[redacted].

Jon should be careful with those sleazy telemarketer fellows. They could be one of those fraudsters that steal money or worse.

There’s one born every minute!

Big enough to be able to lift Garfield?

Hey, Jon! The candy store called. They want you to pose for the world’s biggest sucker!

No, John. Listen to who is calling, if it says spam risk, don’t pick up, if it’s important they’ll leave a message. If not, chances are they’ll hang up. Delete.

Got to get the cat on board. Did they mention the free lasagna?

That’s a very good telemarketer.

Thank goodness he has Liz, otherwise the telemarketer would probably have made wild claims about how appealing he’d be to women

thus another sucker is lured in. :J

Jon, you need to learn to stand up for yourself. Don’t fall for these scams.

Garfield, slap that phone out of his hand before this gets out of hand.

Yeah, better pass on that one or anything that promises to increase the size of any other appendage there Jon.

It’s a scam, Jon.

“And my bank account will be how small?”

Do you not have caller ID, Jon?

Interesting. A comany that sells timeshare condos and muscle enhancing pills. Either that or this boiler room operation works for two different companies.

I am so grateful my wireless carrier warns me of scam calls.

In Holland, there is a website from the national association of telemarketeers, where you can have your phone-number blocked. I get less than one telemarketing phonecall a year, usually from a some small business that is not a member of the association. Then I state that I am not interested, and that I do not want to be called again, and they are required by law to honor that.

His right arm that is.

“Joooooon, your going for a scam call”

He wants to impress Liz.

my wife needs to watch less Little House on the Prairie, my first thought was why would Miss Beedle call Jon

And it’s only $39.95 per month for 20 years.

“BEEDLE BEEDLE BEEDLE”

(imagines different versions of these parts of this cartoon)

RING RING RING

Turns out the bicep is timeshare, too…

A good slap usually deals with his stupidity

Just when you thought Jon had gotten smarter…

Garfield invokes Dennis Rodman in the final panel. Look it up……

Garfield has it right Jon is a easy touch

Jon is so gullible

Charles Atlas strikes again.

Get Caller ID Jon!!

This would actually be funny as an arc. They buy a time share and the apartment is rundown.

Hang up my dude.
