National Playground Administration, ex-squeeze me?

That’s right. Those spammers even know our favorite swings, so look out.

Wait until you even think about getting a car. You will be getting five calls a day offering you an extended warranty (on the car you haven’t bought yet). Some may even be in Chinese (my wife get a few of those).

And what’s really crazy, my name is on the title and hers is not, yet she is the one who gets hammered with all the spam calls. And almost all in Spanish which we can’t figure out since our name isn’t Hispanic.

I never took Gracie to be a swinger.

Shouldn’t it be some scam to get bitcoins, gift cards or money?

String ‘em along, Gracie! It’s fun, if you have the time …

Cell phones on the playground. What has this world come to?

These “robo calls” often use familiar numbers to get you to answer. I once got a call from myself????

Why can’t they do anything to crack down on those crooks and make it so painful for them that nobody else will try to do it again?

I wish it wasn’t a joke. It’s almost that bad…..

There are a few really savvy computer geeks who can send a virus back to whoever and burn out their servers

I think that’s more phishing than spam…

The government has been working on the spoofing and spamming issues for years. They’re supposed to have a fix within a year or two. (sigh) Some carriers don’t have the technology required. I’d like to give them a deadline, advance them interest-free loans, and implement a simple system for reporting and fining/shutting down telemarketers who disregard the “Do Not Call” list and scammers. I get warranty calls every day and “Microsoft Windows Servicing Center” calls periodically (including yesterday).

Spam calls are the worst.

A Kid getting spam! Holy crap.

If she talks to an agent, they’ll ask for her piggy bank! Don’t do it, Gracie!

My apartment has hardwood floors, or linoleum in the kitchen and bath. I do not need my carpets cleaned.
