Well, sounds great, but unless the FCC really, really goes after these clowns, I suspect spam and spoofing will go on...and on...and on...and on...etc
Government is not the solution to our problem—government is the problem.   Ronald Reagan
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.   Thomas Jefferson
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.   George Orwell  The truth is quiet...It's the lies that are loud.   Jesus Revolution

I remember getting a robocall a number of years ago and I pressed the button to talk to a live person so I could tell them off.  When I pointed out that I was on the no-call list, they laughed and said "do you think the government cares?"

My philosophy was that the more people waste their time, the less profitable they will be and they will find some other way to scam people.  Unfortunately, the goverment keeps saying don't answer, don't talk to anyone.  That just lets the scammers find the gullible people faster.

there are apps for smart phones that actively fuck with these kind of calls.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Point us to the Promised Land, Messiah.

And also let me know if it works on inlaws too.
Insert witty comment here.

RoboKiller sounds like fun!  ;D  Try up the spammer and keep him from bothering somebody else for a few minutes at least.  :DD
