I know you may have spent all night coming up with this comeback, but seriously are you saying mobile phones cannot be robo'd?

Yes, i spent all day coming up with a comeback to a thread you just made.

I got a call from my own number about a month ago. I was scared to pick it up.
But in hindsight, maybe it was the future me with some good stock advice.

Your obsession is noted.
So you really don't know squat about robocalls and cell phones.

Dude pick up next time.
This should be good.

Nope, I pay my bills. You have a history of jewish behavior (dollar pancakes, kitty litter, etc), so it's pretty easy to deduce your cash-strapped and drowning in debt, thus the robo calls

I have fun with these.......we have detected a problem with computer, turn on computer....with a Middle Eastern accent.

What I do to these pricks should be illegal.

The one where they say "Go to your computer and type this in. Now tell us what it says."
I air type and then say "S-C-A-M"

One foreign speaking chick didn't even know I was playing her back.
Another guy showed his true colors and went the terrorist threat route.

Give us a small sample of what you do.

It was you from the past.
With a boring list from Avante.

Dude, do something besides tagging along being a little pest, can you?

[Chucho]

It's simple. Pickup and hangup or don't answer. If something this simple is an issue in your life that you have to share on a troll message board, you're re ed or you're Fabbs.

Quite a conundrum then. Do I pick up and give some tips to my past self? Possibly changing events so much that my current self doesn't even log on to SpursTalk to get notice that it's my past self calling?

Picking up is not the answer Chuncko. That informs the bot that it got an answer.

Then don't pick up you twit. It's not an issue for most people who aren't mentally debilitated like you.

[benefactor]

cucked over bat ears. ^
