Provided I remember, the next eejit who rings me up to claim my router is downloading Martian earwig viruses is going to get a recitation of "Jabberwocky".

That'll larn 'em.

The Canada Revenue scam recently hit my area. An automated service call telling you to call a particular number to deal with back taxes owed or else the police are coming to your house to arrest you.

And then there are the repeated calls from a duct cleaning company. I used to try to put them off politely. Now I just hang up.

Our telephone provider has a free service whereby I can ban calls from the last number which called me, so these people only get one shot at it. Except that they seem to have a vast fund of different numbers to call from, alas.

I don't have caller id and am on the no telephone solicitation list but it doesn't seem to be of much help.

Yes, we're on the equivalent of that here, but of course all that does it stop legitimate businesses from calling. Scammers take no more notice of it than they do of the other laws they're breaking :(

Yes, I can do this, too.
