I've blocked 3 different phone numbers this morning because they've each called me 5 or more times in the last 2 hours.

wtf is wrong with people? My voicemail says I won't answer solicitors. Just stop.

@Earthshine robot dialers don't listen to voicemail messages.

@kelseyhusky except these ones are actual people in indian call centers. They leave voicemails. then they call back again. and again....

@Earthshine Like I said, robocallers don't actually listen to voicemail prompts. the just wait for the beep and follow their script.

@Earthshine @kelseyhusky I think their metric is based on returned calls or time spent on the phone with people; I've NEVER gotten a job thanks to offshore recruiters obviously, and it really upsets me (plus whenever I dismiss any call or VM from someone with an accent, I then feel I'm the worst bigotted crap in the world).
