Bumbling tele-scammer called, stuttered thru my 1st name twice, then called me Mr. ___ twice, introduced himself as "Hi my name is [imperceptible] calling from [my town] Kids." Then he hung up.
Guess it's my turn.!!! Just started getting called from the sob's at "PM Sports. 781-349-4726" Based on what I'm reading, I've got a number of irritations ahead. If any phone savvy person can come up with a way to get back at these scum buckets, please post it. The phone company, (Verizon) can't seem to come up with a way to do it, or perhaps doesn't really care, and the Federal "Do not call list" doesn't seem to work for these illegitimate irritators, Perhaps a creative approach using a PC (or MAC) might be possible. The PC might be programmed so that if a listed I.D.# calls (Using a dedicated PC hooked up to the phone line), a prerecorded piercing tone could be sent as a reply to return their greeting. I don't know how to do it, but I've got a bunch of slightly outdated PC's that I would love to put to productive use. Maybe these b*st*rds get their jollys just annoying people. I sure hope some one somewhere could figure-out/provide a solution. God bless your efforts.
Caller ID "PM Sports" - local number this time..........or so it would seem. Been getting a lot of these calls this week - they call, my answering machine picks up, they hang up. Tis the season, I guess.
