Sparky,
You appear to be lucky--in more ways than one. When I get those 6, 8, or 10 garbage calls a day, at least one of them leaves a message which is:
a. Threatening me because I owe the IRS and if I don't call back immediately, they will refer my case to their legal enforcement team.
b. Threatening me because I'm in default of my student loans. (I never had any student loans.)
c. Threatening me in general (the message is always "cut off" but emphasizes that they are "pressing charges")
I think I'd rather hear about some fantasy millions than be threatened because they are picking on old, possibly confused folk. The worst kind of predators....
I keep trying to come up with a reverse EMP button that if I called their number and hit the EMP button, it would send a pulse back up the line and blow out their mega-auto-dialing machine. Smoke the innards and take down their fake area code generating machine, too. In fact, the button should be stout enough to make anyone sitting at the keyboard--or in the room even--feel like they got hit with a good bison-sized electric fence. Since these guys have no morals whatsoever, it seems fair to me.
Gotta go glue some wood and get my Zen back,
Dave
