Those fuckers now have robots calling you. They're taking hardworking American jobs and giving them to robots. I just got a call and it was really good. Wasn't aware it was a robot until the first question.

You're lucky. They just started calling mine. I have a ton of contacts in my phone so if the name doesn't come up, I don't answer. I'm assuming that's who it is.

Robot telemarketers, robot umpires. What about robot hookers?

Don't call my cell phone either, there is a no call list that you just need to update about every 2 years here.

Latest for me is GOOGLE...calling with seo SERVICES...

All the tech in the world, all the online ads, etc....and it still all comes down to some Asshole calling me. I say Asshole as they have called me no less than 10 times.

That's because when you go into hotcuts or hair cuttery etc..they want name - number.. They sell that info. I never get solicited calls and don't give my number out to any of those clowns..

These are getting worse and worse for me. I have this same robot call once every three days or so. I've reported it to FCC, but every time I do that and add the number to my phone's auto-reject, they call from a new number.

So far it has been California, Texas, Florida and Maryland area codes.

I use OOMA at home for my phone service, and pay the $10/month for the premium service to get a bunch of features including getting all my voicemail delivered to my smartphone's email while I'm out of the house. One of the best premium features is a community blacklist feature - if enough people put a telemarketer or scammer on their personal blacklist, Ooma will just boot that caller ID system wide to all premium customers.

I have a calendar reminder every month to take ten minutes and add all the dumbasses to my blacklist. This thread reminded me to do it, it takes me 5-6 minutes a month, and I usually do it while sitting on an airplane. Each month, there are less and less of them.

It's worth it with the haircut places. I check in online and get right in. If I need to wait more than 5 minutes for a haircut I just leave.

They will just robo call from different numbers. I just ignore or reject. They will never leave VM.
