    I have just had 3 recorded robocalls in the last half hour or so.

    One of them starts with “Please don’t hang up” ... :brickwall:

    It's out...of...control! All of those robo calls now get my robo response. My pixel 3 has a screen call function which is awesome. 98% hang up before the call screening statement is even finished. Then I block the number.

    I watched a news show about those calls. One machine can literally make thousands of calls using random numbers in a very short time, like a minute or less IIRC. I block them as well, but according to the reporter, it does little good.

    I have had the usual scams warning me the IRS is after me or that my credit card was compromised
    but I got a new one yesterday
    left a message stating the company ( unnamed of course) has been ordered to go out of business and order to pay refunds
    so if I will just call them they will process my refund. Oh let me rush to the phone
    gotta admire the creativity.

    I think this entire thread is filled with fake posters. I'm skeptical.

    One day I decided I was gonna mess with one of the robocallers. I pressed 1 to speak with a live representative. I ignored him on speaker and just let the radio play.

    He told me to go f*** myself. That was rude.

    With live people at least that's less time they'll spend bugging someone else...
