These nuts just called my home number for the 4th time today. This is getting beyond annoying. Grr! On the last call my answering machine finished the message, then there was silence, then I could hear a lot of voices/noise in the background, so the caller was still there, keeping my phone tied up, then silence for several seconds then the guy said "hello? Hello? Hello?" Took awhile for him to free up my phone. Comes up on my caller ID as "Unknown name" with this number, 516-800-0000. Well, my husband just texted the number from his cell and it did not kick back and say it was a land-line [like it would normally do when you try to text a land-line] ...so it must be a computer dialer thingy. The message he texted was not nice so I can't repeat it here. I think everyone should send a text message and fill up their data handler. I am going to report them to do-not-call soon as I am done here.
Me again. Here's what I'm going to do. First of all I never answer the phone unless it's a call from someone I know. [TG for caller ID.] I am going to change the greeting on my answering machine to "You have reached the field office of FBI Agent [my last name here]. I am currently out of the office doing an investigation on annoying telemarketers and scammers. ..." I'm sure my friends will understand. LOL.
