    Just answered my phone and the first words of the automated recording were :

    "Do Not Hang Up The Phone"

    - couldn't tell you what was after that, i hung up!

    I would LOVE to be able to write an app that would display the actual phone number that is being used to call me instead of the spoofed number, maybe also the physical GPS location of the person calling... that would be AWESOME!

    I could sell this app for $29.95 per download and I bet still get several million downloads in the first few weeks!

    It could have been the important call from the IRS and now you're screwed.

    Damn Bro!
    Was trying to inform you of the bassboat package that you have won! Total value of package was over $72,000! Had to give it to the next caller that did not "hang up"!
    SORRY!

    I used to work for a company that provided company phones for everyone and all of us would get a call and when you said hello it would let out a cruise ship horn and said congratulations you have won a free cruise. We would cuss them as soon as we heard that horn

    I remember that call. Annoying as hell.

    I love the ones saying "We've been trying to reach you about your (whatever.)" I wish a MF'er would actually talk to me, would love to have a discussion with them at this point.

    The "do not hang up" is only one of about 10 or so I get on a regular basis. Someone, somewhere needs to do something about this. At this point I am talking major fines and/or jail. It is ridiculous when someone who works nights gets these calls throughout the day...or a person home sick...cannot get much needed rest.

    Not a funny post but this crap needs to stop!!!

    I have been putting the phone down and letting them talk. They eventually hang up, but while they are on the phone talking, at least nobody else is being bothered.

    Rachel or Heather calls me everyday, local number, local person's name-- Sometimes my son's name and number.

    "Hi there is nothing wrong with your credit card, yada yada yada press 1 to receive lower interest rates, push 9 to get on our no call list. 200 times of pushing 9 Still getting calls. NOW after pressing 1 and never talk to Rachel or Heather I get Huissian or whatever his name is, same guy everytime. Now when he opens his piehole and starts his spill I say in a loud voice--------- It's your husband calling --- and interrupting us again.

    Molly from Apple kept calling us. So, I found a fart sounds video on YouTube and started pressing 1 to give them something to listen too. After a few times of hearing different farting sounds they stopped calling.
