    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.

    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
