good job, Jason

I like comedian Tom Mabe’s take on dealing with telemarketers. Pretty hilarious stuff.

These days caller ID shows, “Spam.” Time for some Monty Python?

If the Caller ID shows Private or Unknown or something like that, it goes to voicemail. If they can’t be bothered to identify themselves or actively try to hide, I don’t need to talk to them.

I ignore private or unknown callers. If it’s that important to them, they’ll leave a message; if the message is important to me, I’ll call back.

We get a lot of calls from Spam Risk. I always figure that Mr. Risk can leave a message.

I got a lot of spam calls after signing up for medicare. I changed my number and didn’t give the update. No more calls

If you’re not in my contacts – goes straight to VM – if it’s legitimate, I’ll call back and add the phone number to my contacts…

If it’s “Private,” I respect their privacy and don’t answer. If it’s “Unknown,” I don’t answer either because if they don’t know, I don’t have time to help them figure it out.

That’s very funny, I got a big laugh, as a private “first class”, been there done that…

I can’t HEAR you………

Why are they taking a call from a private number in the first place?
