If I do mistakenly pick up a scam call, I politely let Habib know I plan to masturbate through the duration of the call. That usually gets them to hang up and I now get maybe 1-2 scam calls per month, if that.

Google Voice has had this exact feature for years and works for your cellphone as well as landline.

Also, India has now surpassed China as the most populated country with 1.43 B people.

These people breed like rats.

And 70% of them are severely inbred. To them, there is no greater honor than marrying your first cousin. There are several studies out there documenting the damage this is causing. From low IQs to birth defects.

I ordered one from someone that called and was selling them, but I have not received it yet. Maybe the weather slowed the shipment down. It was pretty hot last summer.

I'm almost disappointed that I never got that one. They kept going and going and going with the TV provider scam. Different scammer groups all using the same exact scripts....pay us a lump sum up front and we'll not charge you for so many months going forward, and they you'll be charged a discounted rate after that.

Well Hell, sign me up! I mean, I don't have cable TV, but who could turn down such a gracious offer? Really.

They were very sensitive, though, as if you deviated slightly from what they expected their victim to say, they hung up. Took quite a few calls to get as far as the actual scam pitch, just to figure out what they were trying to do.

The Indiians (or any other type of humans) are not the ones making the calls - they have robot dialers that dial every phone number in an exchange, wait for someone to answer, and then transfer the call to a human operator.

Robo-dialers are like Terminators: they can't be reasoned with, they can't be bargained with, and they absolutely will not stop - EVER!

But you can lead some to water but can't make them think.
