She's dead actually.

Today I received a call from an unknown number. I usually don't answer since it is almost always ads or scammers, but I was waiting for a call so my hand went faster that my brain. Bingo, scammer again, pretending to work for the power company.

"Sir, I call you because you are a home owner suscribed to our compagny." I am not, I can't afford a house, so the informations are already wrong. But he insist and here is the beautiful part : I'm trans, I have been for years now and nobody today uses my deadname. And I don't know where this dude got his data but he said

"You are M. [First name] [Last name], right ?"

"Yes" (he mispronunced my last name)

"And you are married to Miss [Deadname] [Last name] ?"

"Oh, no. She's dead actually. But thank you for bringing that up."

Dude stuttered an apology and hung up immediatly. Hopefully he'll think twice now before stealing people's personnal infos. I doubt it honestly, but at least I had a bit of fun. Don't deadname me and tell me I'm married to myself if you don't want to be embarrassed.
