Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

This is not a good idea.

Spam calls are, by and large, automated. When the number does not answer several times in a row, the number is often auto deleted from the list so as to get more scams done.

When you answer, it confirms for the automated program making the calls that your number is still in service and is answered.

Odd. My wife and daughter never answer them and they get them every day. I get one maybe every couple weeks.
