for the last 4 or 5 months, we have been overwhelmed with AI augmented robo calls, between 15-20 a day on most days. Anyone else cursed with this technology? ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

I am only sixty-thirteen, retired at 70 and have gotten used to some of the new technology, but some not so much. peace, ------------- Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die |

I don't bother answering the phone anymore...let calls go to voice mail after 3 rings. If it's important humans leave a message. Frankly I have better things to do than answer the phone on ring #1. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| I don't own a cellphone. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, the ones who I want to be in touch with know how. Makes it real easy. |

Unknown calls to my cell phone are dumped off to voicemail w/o ringing. If it is important a live person can leave a message. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| I get calls from some organization that supposedly deals with Medicare and thy ask if I'm in pain. I told one the other day Yes I'm talking to you and hung up! My Cellphone identifies Spam calls,but some have change to a local area code and looks like a cell phone number so I made the mistake of answering. Now if I don't recognize the number, it goes to voice mail. |

Just wondering what are "AI augmented" calls as opposed to the recorded calls we have been getting for years? The USPS mailbox has been getting a lot of mail the last year or so wanting to buy (steal) the farm for 20% of the going price or just the mineral rights. Then there are the ones wanting to lease the ground for "up to" some fantastic rate per acre per year so they can plant a bunch of solar panels.

| Have close to ten per day some days less some more, of the Robo Calls, the Turnpike fee calls or emails, the No Freight for a new order emails for stuff I cannot use anyway or form, Looked at something on my phone next thing is have a dozen offers for better product at less price, Asia or S Am sites, some African crap that I denote as SCAM and report, seems little slows the cascade of crap. |

I just had a call that wanted to help me with Medicare. The first question was can I hear them, NO. But continues with do you have both part A and B , again NO. Well I will get my senior supervisor to help you. So he got a ear full. And then told him were to go and how to get there. If we ever get cell service at the house I can get a new round of frustration learning how to use a cell phone. Cut the land line, and start fresh. Yes I have a cell phone now, but it is not turn on more than once a month. Only if I make a out going call. So can I say I am part of the no cell club???

| Must be something wrong today haven't heard the landline ring, it don't get answered if we don't know the number, and I got a text message that I needed to pay x amount of money for poll that I didn't pay and I just deleted it. |
