Seeing a lot more of these incredibly stupid scammers trying to copy a previous scam (IRS, MS, court summons, etc.) without a clue. C'mon - a robocall scam? So they have to have a return number to call, which will likely be cut off soon, so they have to do it all over again with a new number. Plus the danger to them that if anyone of us did trace the number back to a real person, they might experience some real pain.
The government is too busy monitoring our calls to grandma to care about real criminal activity. And phone companies rejoicing over the pure profit they make charging for caller ID (mostly showing "Unknown Name"), encouraged by this activity - a big win for them! Anyway, I'm getting rid of my home line.
Now if I could just stop my Linux computers from sending all those error packets to Microsoft!!!!
