    Default AND......... the phone scam / telemarkerters / fishing cloners have stepped it up

    A notch.

    Besides the.
    I'm Anna and your student loan is at risk. Or
    Did you know your vehicle warranty is about to expire. This mornings one that actually left a robo call voice mail.

    Normally a number i don't recognize goes unanswered. If there's no vm left it gets blocked.
    Today there was a vm left, possibly from the VA 3rd party med referrals folk.

    I got that call yesterday. Any voice mail that is four minutes long gets deleted cause it's spam.

    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    I got that one too, I thought it was Chinese or something (though my number ended 1281). Edit: Yeah, I think mine's Chinese, not Japanese. Maybe Korean.

    In the last 2 days, I have received over 20 spoofed 970 area code spam calls at my business. Never anyone on the other end. If I could catch up to these fuckers, I'd slow roast them alive on a spit, and baste them with salt and alcohol. Or maybe just grind their feet off with a belt sander...

    They've been killing me too. I have a business and need to answer calls during business hours. All sorts of random stuff.

    Worst is my number has been confused with an elderly man who lives in Aurora. So I get all the Medicare/Medicaid scam calls and people wanting to buy my Aurora condo before I die. Even getting text messages from real estate agents! I told them I won't take a penny less than $3M. No takers.

    I have a health insurance robot called at precisely 8:01 every day for the past month. They usually call again around 2pm. The next day it's a different number. Sometimes its east coast. Sometimes it's my area code
