NOMOROBO has been very busy the last two days!

I don't know what the deal is, I have had about 30 or so calls the last couple of days, they only ring once, barely having time to show up on caller id on the tv screen, nearly all of them showing up as 'UNASSIGNED' or 'UNAVAILABLE'. They seem to stop about 8:00 pm. Anyone else been getting these? I have to say signing up with NOMOROBO has been a Godsend.

Last week my blocked call log showed calls from the same number began at 9 AM and went on all day long at 90 minute intervals until 6 PM. This went on for 4 days straight from the same number!

The telephone has gone from being a convenience to an instrument of torment.

I went from the minimum to probably getting at least 10 spoofed calls a day. The first day they all managed to leave voicemails, from "Apple Support Services." It's really irritating to say the least.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

I've been worried sick since Microsoft called and told me that my IP address has been compromised. I'd better get a new one.

I had Nomorobo “helping” me with spam callers for about a year. I didn’t think they did much good as far as reducing the number of unwanted calls. I spent a lot of time having to check the numbers of callers that got though, then reporting them to Nomorobo. I quit them at the first of the year and haven’t noticed any increase in spam calls at all, since then.

Mine are from investors "buying property in your area."

Oh, and let's not forget about the texts for Dorothy trying to get her to sell her house on Toby lane. I've been getting these since at least 2018, but in recent months they've really ramped up the frequency.

Mine are from insurance companies wanting to sell me extended warranties on vehicles I don’t own.

Just yesterday I got a call from a ‘Honda Rep’ for a car I sold in 2010.

Honda is the worst. Audi called me a bunch of times until I told the lady that I’d be happy to give her number to the guy that bought my car in 2016.

Are these the same guys that are (thankfully!) calling me each week to tell me my 2009 Crown Victoria's extended warranty is about to expire? Because that extended warranty is news to me...
