I got one of those phone calls.
They left a message that said that all the data on my computer would be wiped out unless I called a certain number. When I heard the message, I just chuckled and hung up. (I run linux.) Not going to call the number, nor call back the number that called. Just not interested in the waste of my time. But if you guys want to mess with them, here is the caller ID stuff: Unknown Name 855-557-6855 _________________ -Jeff How can I help you, and/or make you smile, today?

We don't have a home phone anymore so very few don't calls to the cell phone.
If I don't have the number in my phone with the name on it I don't answer it, I let it go straight to voicemail. Phuk em!!! _________________ "You are either with us...as Americans.

You know, I wish they wouldn’t call my cell phone, but both my wife and my phone have been blowing up with telemarketers, at least seven calls a day, every day. Ugh.

These are some of my favorite calls. These and the IRS gonna lock me up. My personal best is 49 minutes and 2 call backs.

I have a few hundred numbers across the US for work. We consider it a badge of honor the longer we can keep them on the line when they call one of my test lines. Yesterday it was 15 minutes at lunch.

Sounds like a job for the Ms Cleo or Bail Bondsman soundboards.
