So thanks for all the likes, but how about coming back sometime and actually reading my stuff? 😉
Not a conformist. A contrarian who is also a pragmatist. And I am a pessimist who likes to look at things optimistically because it really confuses people.
True. Fads come and go in everything including crime. Either the criminals will get bored of the trend or the police will figure out how to catch and prosecute more of the people. I really wish we could do something about scam phone calls.
I don’t even answer them. I look at the number and if it is a double number, a V number or an unusual zip code, I pick it up and wait. If no one says hello, I know it is a telemarketer and I hang up. They are voice activated and will not answer first. I keep a phone beside my chair, so it is easy to dump the calls.

I will, but this is the culture of WordPress. I fought it for a long time, but I eventually gave in.

Smash and grab was very sad to see happening! A symptom of our society and a selfish lack of respect!

Me too, but it is still a pain in the butt. And they can spam numbers from area codes near you.

And they use other numbers in your area code to get you to answer. That way their name does not come up.

You know the phone companies could put a stop to it if they wanted to. They have records of the people doing all the robocalls.

I am sure they are getting kickbacks of some sort from this!
