Robo-Calls

Arrrgh! Another robo-call this morning. This one going under the false flag of a 256 area code! Apparently the modus operandi is partly the same - a young, cheery female voice using a generic young person's name and employing a breathless sales pitch.

It used to be that you could screen out these bogus calls by their using an unfamiliar area code; but no more! And because the calls are robots, I cannot even get the satisfaction of telling the caller to perform some unspeakable contortion activity on her own person!
