Answer your call with
ISIS headquarters. Achmed speaking. How may I direct your jihad?
or with
You have reach the assassins guild, family removal department. Based on your phone number, we have issued a hit contract on your family. To cancel type in the cancellation code listed on your order slip. To keep the contract in play, do nothing.

I use 'call blocker' on android. I started getting a lot of these bullshit calls. Most of mine are people trying to sell home alarms or a car warranty. I've fucked with them every which way and backwards. It's no use. With call blocker, you can either have a white list or a black list. I just do a black list. You can add numbers from your call list at the end of a day if you get any calls.

It's the only job many minorities can do.
I'm sure this is just another Federal Law Oblunder is turning a blind eye to.
Yes I've been getting 3 to 4 robo calls a week. I blame Google more than anybody.

Mine are home contractors and fraudsters saying they work with Edison and try to sell me solar. At least up 400% over two years ago.

Yes, I have been getting more spam calls. I just leave the ringer off now. Been that way for at least year, and it's fine.
If I see an incoming call from someone I know, then I answer. Otherwise I just ignore it. They don't usually leave messages.

I was thinking more along the lines of asking them What are you wearing?, but I libe APOCALYPSEFUCK's suggestions better.
At LEAST 2 spam or toon calls per day, and as many as 4x a day.
Anyone else living through this bullshit?
