I had one of these calls yesterday - "your computer has stopped

I used my usual: "hang on while I get the police on the other line";
that usually makes them hang up pretty smartish.

However, thinking about it afterwards, I wondered: would it be possible
to devise something that could do something to their systems, while
pretending to do whatever they ask? I've never gone beyond the initial
call - I have always seen through them so far, it's not been difficult!
- so I don't know what they ask you to _do_.

I suspect it isn't likely to be possible, but it would be _so_
satisfying ... (-:

NoMoRoBo free for many VOIP services.

HiYa, RoboKiller, and TrueCaller for iPhones.

Are those free too?

I believe so. Why not look in App Store?

Hmm, NoMoRobo app has poor ratings.

The problem with reviews at play.google.com is that very FEW are
actually *reviews*. Most are boobs that have been raised on social
networks where +1 is all they get for a vote and that's all the do is
vote, not write up a review. You get reviews like "garbage". Oh yes,
that is so very informative, uh huh. "Didn't work." Oh, that's very
detailed, for sure. Even those that give a thumbs up but no details are
NOT reviews! Voting is not reviewing. Some "reviews" are "cost money,
didn't try it". Oh yes, very informative, uh huh. Tells them in the
app description that a subscription is required, yet the boobs still
complain that it costs money. What retards.

As I've noticed here, users just don't have a grasp of what is a ROBOTIC
DIALER. Not all spam calls use robodialers yet the boob pseudo-reviews
whine that it doesn't stop all spam calls, like complaining a pliers
doesn't work well as a jar opener. They'll compare it to anti-spam
blacklist apps (e.g., Hiya) and complain it doesn't catch all spam
calls. Not all spam calls are originated by robodialers. Obviously
only known robodialers can get blocked. Hiya and other anti-spam call
apps don't catch all robodialers nor do they catch all spam calls.

Do you only have a screwdriver in your toolbox? Open your toolbox and
rattling inside is just one screwdriver?
