what? actual human calling? sounds like something an ai would say.

I am 34 and i have never received robocalls before this year, in which I've already gotten a dozen or more calls. I think it has something to do with me living in Denmark. New hot scam just dropped in Denmark.🤪

they destroyed landlines with constant auto-dialing calls. when you pick up they either play a recording or in early days switch to a live scammer in a boiler-room somewhere. i moved my landline to google voice and silence is golden. get emailed transcripts of talking or it's a few seconds of silence. brave new world

I saw a video saying that it was just a matter of tele companies just verifying and blocking callers, but that they had no incentive to do so.🤷 Google voice sounds so awesome. A shame it seems like it's only available in the US
