Toot

At least 2 or 3 times/day, I get a voicemail message from "Jessica" in the "underwriting department" trying to contact me about some loan (it's a scam). No matter how many times I block and report spam, it always pops back up again (mostly because they use a different phone number every time).

I really wish there was a way for these spam utilities built into our phones to analyze the content of a message and automatically remove it if we've received the exact same message more than X times

@cgrymala I wish for it as well. But as long as the telcos can make money selling banks of phone #'s to these spam outfits we'll never see it.

I find it funny, though still annoying as hell, to watch the waves of it come and go. There will be a burst. I block and report. Regardless of those efforts on my part the wave will dissapate once they've exhausted what they've purchased. Then 10 days or so later it will start up again.
