This has been a frustrating week given the increase in robocalls that arrived. One day there were seven calls and two of them were repeat calls. I do not answer these calls. The call display shows they are overseas numbers or local numbers that I don't recognize. Some leave a message -- well part of a message. This week had what seemed to be an older male voice that was having difficulty saying the number to call back. That was a recorded call, as I got the same message twice. <sigh> All of these calls come to the home number which doesn't have a block number feature. Not that this would help since the same messages come from different numbers. Switching numbers for each call makes the do not call list useless. These aren't legitimate businesses calling. There has to be a way to minimize this type of fraudulent activity. <sigh> This week the calls have been coming in between 6 and 7 AM. To avoid the frustration of being woken by this silliness, I've just turned my ringer off. That sort of defeats the purpose of having a phone.
The song that came to mind while I was doing housework today is shared here. It made me smile a bit about the whole situation. Keep safe.Enjoy!
