Stupid spammers
-
I just sent this to a certain business. They emailed me, and said they'd be calling me shortly. The number I gave was 123-456-9876, so I doubt it: This is why I gave a fake number. I actually have a junk mailbox I usually use for signing up for things like this. It's silly to make someone give up contact info just to see classes and pricing. That way they can get hit with spam until the end of time. Now that I've been spammed there's no way I'll consider going to this for certification/classes unless it is somehow the last place left in the world where it's possible. I value my privacy. Don't call us, we'll call you.

Not how spammers work... :)

But you could make millions from a sick billionaire widow from Asia who wants to do a last good deed! Or of course from your rich uncle from Bolivia who passed away and named you as his sole heir! How are these kind people going to reach you now? Think of all the opportunities you'll miss, you privacy-valueing fool! :doh:

I have a landline into my house and every member of the household has a cell phone. I started getting spam phone calls on the landline days after we moved to Florida and registered our vehicles with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), giving the landline number as our home number. A friend warned me that the DMV sells telephone numbers to spammers to supplement the tax income they get from vehicle registrations. My solution was simple: Hook the incoming landline to my printer, which has a fax function. I only use the landline for outgoing calls, anyway, and that function is still available. Now when a spammer calls, he gets a screetching fax in his ear. Those spammers are persistent little buggers! They have been getting my fax noise for 13 years, and still we keep getting their calls on a daily basis!
