Called at 809PM tonight. Recorded female voice said she was calling for breast cancer research. The recording asked for a donation and I said NO. The NO tripped a second recording, this time asking for $25 or $15. "Which can we count on you for?" The recording asked. I said NONE and that triggered a third recorded message about how maybe i could donate at a later date and then said goodbye. A tricky pitch designed to make the call recipient think it is a live person, but it's a series of recordings triggered by the answer it hears. The next time it calls, when it asks if they can count on me for a donation, I am going to say "watermelon." We will see if that confuses their machine.
