I know hunting down and stopping the calls isn't worth my time. I'm more interested in the technology they are using and who has built it and who provides it as a service. Beckman On Fri, 11 Dec 2015, Aaron Seelye wrote:
FWIW, the number you saw on caller ID really doesn't mean anything. I get emails/calls from people complaining to me that one of our customers is spam calling them, only to find that the number isn't allocated to anyone, and didn't even touch our switch. It's too much of a PITA to really trace down how a call got to you, and the trail would likely die when you hit an account that was made elsewhere with a stolen CC or was made from overseas.

I just got a pretty sophisticated voice-response robocall.
Caller: "Hello is Jen there?" (My wife's name. Coincidence or intentional?)
Me: "I'm sorry, Who is this?"
Caller: "Oh sorry I was calling for either of you. This is Debbie [something] and I'm calling about ... [sales pitch for something]"
Me: "Excuse me, could you tell me what 5 plus 7 is?"
Caller: "Oh well then I'll call back later, OK?"
Me: "No."
Caller: "OK, bye."
Now I could tell that these were recordings pretty quickly, but I had to throw a Turing Test at it to be sure. The call and audio quality was good, and frankly, I was impressed, right until the anger flooded in about it being a robocall.
Anyone else experience the same? Know who the provider is?
