I used to get a lot of Robo Calls, most on my 
answering machine asking my machine to press 1 
for a live operator or press 2 to disconnect!


Robo calls to sell me satellite services or DTV 
converters and asking my answering machine to 
press 1 for an operator!

One of the schemes that had been promoted before 
laws were changed to prohibit it was warranties. 
I would get a robo call saying the warranty had 
expired on my old car and for a few thousand 
dollars they could update my warranty!

Again, my answering machine was being asked to 
punch numbers to answer this offer, but, again, 
the machine was too dumb to push any numbers!

Another scheme was to reduce my interest rates 
to a lower level, and again, my answering 
machine was being asked to punch in numbers!

All of this has apparently stopped since 
September 2009 with new laws and my poor 
answering machine is no longer being asked to 
respond by punching numbers!

Robo calls to collect debts are still coming 
now and then, asking for someone who does 
not live here to call back.
