    I haven’t received any after I threatened lobotomy with a chainsaw. What they’re doing isn’t legal; are they gonna run to the cops with those threats?

    The above is actual spam/scam calls, such as the ones from “microsoft” about a problem with my computer. Yeah, I’m on linux.

    I’m a bit more lenient about the people who call me about something annoying and similar - They’re just doing a (legal) job. I save them the time and hassle by interrupting their pitch with a firm “Not interested”. Sometimes I ask how they got my number, as it’s illegal to cold call s9meone here under certain circumstances. I’ve managed to get off of a few lists this way.
