National DO NOT CALL REGISTRY apparently does no good.
Another aggravating, [f-bombed] cell phone robot sales call...in Spanish !! From (Spoofed) Phone # (561) 594-0010, Received today, Oct 19, 2015 at 16:41.
If you don't know, a "spoofed" phone number is an apparently legitimate phone number but is in reality a faked number that may or may not be a real working number. If it is, it probably belongs to some unsuspecting person or business owner who will get very irate in a short period of time because they aren't the ones pestering me with something I don't want or need, costing money I don't have. But how would I know? THE CALL IS A ROBOT, READING A SCRIPT IN Spanish, A LANGUAGE which I only half-heartedly tried to learn over 45 years ago and today only know "iHola, Paco, Que tal? Como estas??!"
Another complaint was written and sent off on October 19, 2015 at 19:20 hours via the Federal Trade Commission's National Do Not Call Registry, which considerately and so respectfully offers a Spanish language version of their NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY COMPLAINT web page at: ...slash slash complaints(dot)donotcall(dot)gov(slash)complaint(slash) complaintcheck(dot)aspx
I wrote a really, really nice letter. I even cut out all the circumlocutionary drivel until "Just the fax, ma'am" was polished all shiny and polite like. I was proud and wanted to show it off here.
I thought it wise to include a snapshot of the web page, however, and forgot that it, too, wants to use Windoze one and only cut&paste buffer. So when I scraped the screen for the accompanying image, it stomped, trashed, and otherwise destroyed my final copy of my complaint letter.
The web designer for the FTC (with infinite wisdom) likewise did the same to my Firefox work buffers so even though I backed up three times, my work vanished in a thrice, one of 3 pages at a time.
So much for wisdom.
This is my 8th complaint over the course of the past 6 or 7 months. I'm still getting calls, and I have NOT HEARD BACK FROM THESE _-->FTC<--_ folks at all.
Can you say "BIT BUCKET" ??
I knew you could...
OK... looks like I’m going to have to post that image in a following item. Cant’ see how to include an image in a text post...? Hmmm. p.s. An “FYI”, if I might...
You see that “FTC” acronym back there...? A couple inches up...?? In this particular instance, I am not entirely sure that I mean it to say the F_ederal T_rade C_ommision. I’ll leave it’s most accurate acronymity up to your own individual imagination.
