I ignore any call that shows the same area code that I'm in, because they're almost all spam. Anyone important I have in my contacts list so it shows their name when they call.

I can always tell if it was spam because they either leave no voice mail at all, or I get a VM notification within a few seconds. A real caller would take 20-30 seconds to leave a message, not 3-4 seconds.

Sometimes they do leave a message. Then Google mangles the hell out of it and sends the text to me in a notification.


Tell me more...

Spam calls and scams always dramatically increase when the economy starts taking a shit. What with things being the way they are, there's more incentive to scam other people out of their money.

Ya, that's what's weird lately...

Ok, I was sleeping so I got a call to voicemail... I answer it, but it doesn't go to MY voicemail, it goes to someone elses voicemail where the reply message is the spam message.

..

HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK!!! How did I get a push notification of someone ELSES voicemail!?

Yup. When everyone was forced home for COVID they disappeared for me. Now that Americans are back working so are the dicks in telemarketing centers.

I get a bunch per day. Have to leave my phone on do not disturb so only messages from my contacts come through. So fucking annoying. I'd happily kill any of those fuckers trying to scam people if I could get away with it. Subhuman filth.

Some days I've had dozens, other days none. It actually hasn't been as bad lately. I think I haven't had more than five in a single day over these last few months.

"Came across my desk"? That's impressive, but why are you telling me?


A lot of people came today, I guess.
