I get robo-calls from different supposed local numbers. The newest scam I find is on my voice mails. The recording asks if it is me and continues with "Just say yes". In a perfect world, these scammers would be caned 20 lashes and forbidden any electronic communications under penalty of death.
I hate the recordings. Does no good to cuss 'em out.
ReplyDeleteIt's been an insidious path to this point of dealing with mindless machines.
ReplyDeleteI’m on my cell and if I don’t recognize the number, I ignore it. Mind you…that is a luxury of retirement. A working man HAS to take calls seriously because you never know who is on the other end. Fortunately I don’t have to care anymore
ReplyDeleteThat's how I am. I have voice mail. If it's an emergency, call 911.
DeleteMy voice mail doesn't even have my voice on it.
ReplyDeleteThat's the best way. In a perfect world, every unwanted call would place a dollar in my pocket.
DeleteI used to get calls daily asking to buy my house, how much do you want for it? I started telling them 2 million and finally the calls stopped. Mostly.
ReplyDeleteThey probably didn't want to buy it as much as stealing your information to take out loans in your name.
DeleteIf I don't recognize the number, I don't even answer it...
ReplyDeleteWhen I have a known number, I'll attach a name to it. That way I can screen important calls and leave the rest to voice mail.
DeleteWith AI any sample of your voice can used to produce a”Yes” response
ReplyDeleteYes it can, but without a sample from the telephone, there is nothing to work with.
DeleteIf you answer, just saying hello might well be enough
