Annoying telemarketer bots

[hot_rod]

I'm getting fed up with the ILLEGAL auto-dialing telemarketing setups that are so common these days, but what annoys me even more is when they are just randomly dialing numbers and when you answer they don't even have a person on the other end to speak to. you just get dead silence for a few seconds then a hangup. Grr.

Oh yes, I hate those things too. I'm getting sick of seeing "unknown name, unknown number" or phone numbers with strange looking area codes showing up at all hours. And if you do happen to answer the phone, you get either dead silence or a pre-recorded message. I always check the caller ID on the phone before answering because of this crap.

Yea them calling my cell is getting annoying, I think someone sold my cell number to them. I keep getting those like cruise survey ones, I am thinking one of these times I'm going to end up waiting till the person comes on and saying "Take my number off your damn call list before I sue you guys for harassment". Cellphones are taking it a little to far.
