>>> No problems, lets not over-react here all you silly paranoid conspiracy people... <<<
Anyone who bot-calls and doesn't leave a message is an 'illegitimate bottom-feeder' by ~definition~, in case the distinction escapes you. All IBFs are blocked from my phone by 3rd-party software after they don't leave a message.I use this board to confirm that a caller is an IBF. Caller ID logs how many times and when the now-unheard parasites attempt to clog my phone line, their Luddite bot automation apparently not of sufficient intelligence to interpret repeated disconnects on the first ring as a number to remove from the sucker list. The Caller ID could read 'Mother Teresa', to no avail: no message = no credence. The charities hire the same bottom feeders as everyone else. Show the charities the error of their ways by ~never~ donating in response to a bot-call.
The day will come sooner than later when these parasites are simply blacklisted from all cell phones and will have to find an alternate method to contact the feeble-minded 2 - 3% who respond to annoyance advertising techniques with anything other than 'get off my phone you big dope!'
Who would attempt to belittle the problem on these boards? Either someone who is very lonely or a parasite agent in troll mode. What the agents of the parasites should be concentrating on is getting a job that creates real value rather than draining people's time and patience for nothing,
This is a call who claims to be a AAA telemarketer and tries to take your credit card number in the pretext of offering some discount or waive off for a months fee. Dont be fooled.
No msg left, appeared on caller id as "Phone Co Inc" .... Don't know if it's AAA or not but I didn't renew our memebership the other month after belonging for 10 yrs.
