Good thought Bill, but that already exists. Or at least partially. Nuestar does something like that but as of yet they have not been able to tell me how they would interface with m switches or what it costs. AT&T uses an app platform that DIP's that DB. There are several iOS and Android apps that do this, most are not free, some are. On Mon, Apr 30, 2018 at 12:00 PM Dave <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:

    Or the local cable service customer hotline :)

    What would be great is a central clearing house that can receive
    all calls from numbers that have been labeled as spam? The list
    of spam numbers on my phone alone is hilarious. Now if there was
    something built in to Android and IOS that automatically
    forwarded all numbers labeled as spam to the central clearing
    house, maybe we would get somewhere?

    Maybe that is a division of the Chinese government looking to
    offset currency manipulation losses.

        It is hitting the 604/778 area codes (Vancouver) pretty
        thoroughly. Once they get a live Mandarin or Cantonese
        speaking person on the phone they do a scam similar to the
        IRS scam.

        One of the things I have been thinking about, obviously if
        you want to run an English language scam it's possible to
        set up call centers in India. Journalists have found them
        and interviewed the employees, etc.

        But where do you set up a call center of native Chinese
        speakers to run the scam. Seems like something dangerous to
        do in China with their level of internet surveillance and
        court/prison system for financial scams.

            Both my wife & have been getting these for a few weeks
            now, and I just
            heard on PBS that it seems to be "trending" now. They
            announced they
            will have a feature on it on Monday. I think it will be
            between 2 and 3
            PM here locally. Have no idea when it might come around
            on the guitar in
            other necks of the woods.
