Nah, sometimes I have fun with them . . . I’ll lie to them just to waste their time
The FCC should merge with the SEC and the B1G Ten and form a super conference for telemarketers!
We have a dog toy that is a stuffed animal.
I think it is a hedgehog.
If you squeeze it you get a sound that sounds exactly like a human fart.
When I get a telemarketer on the lines these days I squeeze it.
If they say anything else I squeeze it again.
Fun for the whole family!
unless they bash Trump. Then they can get funding.
I’m sure “Bob Smith”, calling from Hyderabad, will be seriously discomfited by this ruling.
(I approve (I think) but scammers are criminals ...)
I've been able to unsubscribe from all that crap. The solicitations always go to win red dot com ... to which I give precisely zero.
OK.
That was hilarious.
Anybody says otherwise is a poopyhead.
With their love of AI they’ll increase by 1000 times
If I don’t recognize a number, I don’t answer it. It’s important enough, they will leave a message.
Amazing how many I get with Asian accents . . .
= = =
And I believe they capitalize on their ‘accent’ to be purposfully obscure or intelligable.
So my mind interprets, or fills in the gaps, to my disadvantage.
Oh, they KNOW what I am saying, even though they pretend they don’t.
“My name is Peggy!”
“FCC votes to ban scam robocalls that use AI-generated voices”
yeah, right ... didn’t they already “ban” junk and unsolicited calls, and now there are only 40 billion an hour that no one does anything about?
“Better yet, capital punishment for ALL telemarketers and scammers whether by email, phone or phone!! Fill the graveyards with them.”
that really is the only thing that will stop this stuff ... and it would take only a couple of cases where offending telemarketers were burned at the stake on the Capital mall with live broadcasts ... the rest would get the idea real quick ... i advocate the same treatment for those who engage in encryption extortion-ware schemes ...
“How about banning the ability to spoof phone numbers?”
plus making that a capital punishment crime ...
And graffiti guys! Since tearing the border down, the graffiti in the Spokane, WA area has EXPLODED. It’s looking like South Central LA now.
Hang all of ‘em!
