I've read that some spoof your own number just to get you to pick up

So if we get a call from the local exchange and it's a number that we
do not otherwise recognize we just let the answering machine pick it
up.


If you can stand those several spam rings before the answering machine
picks up that's good. It bugs the hell out of me...

(Unless I have time to have a little fun with the scammers.)


I've never thought it wise to **** off any anonymous caller who knows my
phone number and possibly my name and address. Paybacks (swatting, false
deliveries, etc.) are relatively easy to do from most anywhere.

BTW two more one ringers today since my last report...
