MCS-150 and spam calls/emails

JUST GET A CHEAP phone and use that number, turn it on every week, clean out the VM and turn it off.

 

Use those calls to get rid of your pent up aggression. LOL

 

make friends with someone here, share phone numbers and emails, and use that persons stuff, for your liking...

of course, when that person finds out, make friends with someone else, exchange information, and do it all over again....

 

Tell them you are thinking of going on Americas got talent, and start singing whatever song pops into your head, they’ll hang up, after a month you’ll weed them out

 

Grunt, flush the toilet and sigh. They hang up fast

 

I like receiving the calls when I’m driving. It gives me someone to talk to even if it’s just 5 min. Little do they know I’m using them to wake up from boredom.

 

I redirect them to my Google Voice number, and go through them every few days. Never is anything worth more attention than pressing delete.

 

I don't bother with VM, it burns minutes on that side of the phone. Its been full for years.

What I do do is use a number I do not give out to more than several people if that. There are other numbers in my name that I give out and those are old burners that are disassembled and out of service.

Email is a series of disposible addresses. Sometimes a web hosted service that dies in three days whatever it gets is dead in 72 hours and deleted. Its enough to have a address to use for a purpose online or given out. Its really easy to do when you do not have too much of a need for communications. Back in 2007 or so robo calls destroyed our home land line with electioneering messages (We had already early voted so it's done long since) so we threw out the landline.

The more spammers and scammers want in the easier it is to simply just dispose of the means of that problem. I do have one particular number for almost 15 years that is NEVER given out and used when necessary for communication. That number is so quiet and anyone who did call that I know nothing about gets blocked and thats the end of it. There are about 8 callers here in Arkansas who are bulk spammers calling every number.

Google and so forth has zero activity.

If people wanted to get in touch with me for legitimate reasons or even legal reasons its so easy. Everything else is redirected. Most of the time it's really quiet in my home.

When I look at the future, I see increasing technology and probably living electroncis inside the home tied to the net for their own purposes. That kind of concept is going back to the pre internet days with a home that has one computer online. Everything else is manual. Non technology. (And one smartphone which is itself usually quiet.)

Not all is quiet. There is some activity. If people are so interesed in the occasional pizza order online or whatever then they have nothing better to do in life. Unless they are the pizza place processing the order.

 

As mentioned above, you can use a google phone number called Google Voice (it's free). The service will allow you to screen your calls, have them forwarded to another number, if you wish, as well as give you visual voicemail. It's just like regular voicemail only it gives you a print out of the call. This is all done from a central dashboard, or through your phone.

As far as email goes, If you own your own domain name, I suggest setting up and junk email address and using it for those online forms. Something as simple as info@yourdomain.com would work just fine.

Additionally, you can use any free email service you'd like, such a Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc for all your junk emails needs as well. Just create the email and post it on those online forms then check it periodically so it remains active.

Hope that helps!
