I’ll get five calls a day warning “Dear citizen,” my SS# will be frozen if I don’t press 1 and talk to them. It is a robot voice. Then it will be quiet for a few weeks and it starts again. Not much you can do. I pressed 1 once, just to see what they had in mind. You are immediately transferred to someplace in Bangladesh or India where a person will ask you to confirm your SS#. I admonished him for being an a$$hole, and he fired back that it was my fault for pressing 1. Just ignore the calls, or play with them. Make up a number. Tell them your name is Hillary Clinton. The “do not call list” is perhaps W’s greatest legacy, and it doesn’t work.
I have long suspected that the Do Not Call list is a jobs program for the otherwise unemployable relatives of politicians.
