Called my DO-NOT-CALL land-line today at 17:20 Pacific.
Automated voice about "Internet Survey" to win "$2500 Travel Dollars".
I pressed '1' to get more automation:
1. Do you have more than $7000 in credit-card debt?
2. Do you rent or own?
3. Are you over 25?
Yes/Yes/Yes, and then I got "on-hold" music.
After 15 seconds, got a real human.
I just put the telephone hand-set close to the TV, to let him hear Crosby & the Penguins against the Maple Leafs.
Got a call a minute ago. Didn't recognize the number so didn't pick up. No message left either. Could the phone companies not come up with a 'drop dead' button to send these annoying and intrusive callers a real message?
