We never answer the land-line now. If it's a 'real' person, they can leave a message. I never answer unknown numbers to my mobile either. Makes for a peaceful life.




I do the same unless I'm in the right mood to wind them up a bit, but here's the thing......when I do actually answer almost 100% of the time now whoever it is hangs up without saying anything ? WTF??
 
I can only assume that they are so used to being either being ignored or told to sod off that they have forgotten what they are supposed to say if anyone actually gives them the opportunity to say something so they panic and hang up.




Often this is just a robocall but, as soon as you answer, you're flagged in their system as a "live one" (if you will) and will probably get a return call at sometime by a real person.
 
(Wow, James has a land-line???)

What really amazes me is how they can help me with my credit card debt when I don't even HAVE a credit card.

This action makes my blood boil. I can no longer sit back and allow the infiltration, indoctrination, and the international spamation conspiracy to SAP AND IMPURIFY OUT PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!
