Invasion Of Privacy

VOIP is your enemy. What companies do is lease a bank of numbers in geographical areas. Then use a calling center from India that uses VOIP and through that number. So, if you have an area code of 123, then they have ten numbers in area code 123 which will be the ones calling you. Thus you think it's local and will probably answer. Then they get nailed by the do not call people but can't do anything about it due to the call originating from outside the US. When you block he number, they just go onto the next in line.

... yeah, people suck.

Depends on how much you pay them.

I got an email yesterday that said if I didn't click to "verify my information', my email account was going to be cancelled.

Laughed my ass off. Then forwarded the email to Comcast. They responded and told me they were unsure of what I wanted...

Because I hadn't "copied all headers and the message and THEN send it in my own email."

Everything was there. The only difference was I had forwarded it.

Yes people do suck. Everywhere.

I got the same email also, I just forwarded the message without opening, to my e mail carrier "Outlook." Got an instantanious message thanking me.
