I Just Realized Something!

Anonymous032819 — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 21:04:44 GMT

Ever since the country more or less has gone on lock down, I have not received one single telemarketer call!

Have you noticed the same thing?

Actually, I got one, I guess. It was an unknown number, so I didn't answer.

I've gotten two, both from robot "Ann" in the Warranty Department. No idea which warranty department, as that's as far as she got before I hung up.

Got one yesterday, and it was a repeat of many calls from the same number trying to get us to subscribe to AT &T for internet/TV.

I think it's the same guy who has called a couple times before, so I read him the riot act and told him to stop calling our number.

Also asked him how many times we have to tell him we're not interested before he gets it and stops wasting his time and ours.

@Anonymous032819 I have not received any either. I think it might be because of them shutting down the call centers and the Social Distancing. But before this started, they really amped up the calls. I finally turned off the ringer on my phone and turned off the answering machine. I still see any that do call shown up on the TV screen.

Gee, now that you mention it I haven't had any either for a few days. Only the incessant pita robo one from CVS asking if I want them to contact my Dr. for a refill on a prescription and the recorded call from the governor about the virus. But all the other ones.....nada.

And now that I said that out loud............let the calls begin.

@Anonymous032819 Lucky you! I am getting robo calls all day every day. I don't answer, but they still don't stop.

I'm still getting spam calls, about 5 a day. I notice I'm getting more calls on my cell now.

I'm getting them, but they are fewer.

@Anonymous032819 So far (today ) we've received three calls.

One today in the past 5 days, dramatically decreased from the usual!

@Anonymous032819 I still get many telemarking phone calls.

What I am getting less of is junk emails. I use to get about 150 junk emails every day....the last few weeks about 70.

Yes, we're still getting them, but only a fraction of the number we used to get.
