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? http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-206-777-1088 Beckman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Beckman Internet Guy beckman at angryox.com http://www.angryox.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
