re: #413 Backwoods_Sleuth
I get polling calls several times a week. Most are robo polls, but the ones that have humans calling always ask for money.
I love having Caller ID. Not only do I not answer, I unplug the landline phone for a few minutes. Or, if Iโm in a mood, I pick up and either stay silent or just spout polite gibberish until they hang up.
Either way, those particular numbers stop calling.
As I noted, I would be happy to answer polls. (As of yet, I have not seen a dial phone with a caller ID on it, though you can buy a separate caller ID box.) I donโt even get robo calls, except from dubious charities.
