I get a lot of spam calls, but only one reliably leaves VM: the “auto warranty is about to expire” scam. At this point my warranty has been “almost expired” for years, never mind that I never had an extended warranty.

I have started answering many of these calls more so because of WFH as no one is watching me have fun. When they ask me, my car is always old - from 1929 Ford T to 1980s Toyota Celicas. Then they get on to either disconnect or ask if you have another car which is an opportunity to give them another old car or argue with them why they can't give me warranty on a 1929 Ford T. Fun times although I wish I did not have to do that.

But today I got hung up in 7 seconds. Feel bad.

Those are the only calls I get on my work phone and we can't get the IT people to either activate the free call screening from the phone carrier or whitelist at least one call filtering app. So freaking annoying!
