Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for February 18, 2021

OH NO!!!! THEY GOT NORM!

I find it’s hard to appreciate cleverness when it comes at your expense. I admire Norm’s reaction.

Now they will just call from a different number.

You can get a voip phone number free, give it out to all those companies that sell them. Check vm once a week.

I got my last warning call 10 times so far.

Pressing 2 is to open the flood gates because there is NO ‘do not call’ list but you ARE showing it is an active number. Spammers harvest names from the Gov’t DO NOT CALL list because they are guaranteed to be active numbers.

I press one, and, when a human answers, I blow a police whistle into the phone.

Cruel? Hey, they’re attempting to commit crimes with me as the victim, and I don’t play that game.

Any response shows them that there is a) a person on the phone and b) potentially quite gullible. Same rules as spam – do NOT respond. It just puts you on more lists.
