Telemarketers & Spam
*ship horn blaring* “This is your Captain speaking. You have been invited to complete a survey for a free cruise.” Have you been getting these calls? I get these calls periodically on my home phone. Now I’m getting them at my job from a DC number. They use all sorts of different area codes to call from. I even get them on my Magic Jack phone. It’s internet based! What the hell is that about? I’m not interested in anything these people are trying to sell me.
Spam is out of control now too. I know spam has hit a new low when in my email at work I got a message coming from Jesus with the subject around the lines of ‘Read me and you will be saved‘. No joke, I got an email like that! That crap is just wrong and someone will really open up that email and unknowingly unleash a terrible virus that will probably destroy their computer. I’m like this: if you have to spam people and shove your product down their throats then people really aren’t interested in what you are selling. I know it will never cease so I guess we all just have to tolerate it for now.
