Can you believe it? My boss was standing outside my open office door when I received the call. I picked up the phone and after the caller introduced himself I said, "I will not talk to you. I do not converse with fascists!" at a close-to-outdoors volume (my boss is one of three Democrats at the office, so I knew I was safe) and hung up. Unbelievably, my response to the first call did not stop them from continuing to call about every two to three weeks. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

They purchase the lists and have no way to edit them. I'm on multiple lists, and every time the new lists come out I get the same calls all over again. The political callers probably don't pay for their lists, but they probably have as many lists and as little control over them as the investment callers do. The emailers can control their lists.

They get paid to make calls, and try to get money from you, so they make calls and try to get money from you. We never answer the phone from numbers we don't recognize. It's the only way to preserve a little bit of our remaining sanity. My kingdom for uBlock Origin for our phones. Some numbers are marked as SPAM?, but not enough. Cheers, Scott.

Now, the last one I remember was about 4 days ago. I am still receiving a few calls from guys offering investment opportunities, at almost the usual frequency. I presume they're working from home.

Although in the last several weeks at the office I did commit the RNC's number to memory and did not answer when that particular number popped up. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
