Reply #36: That's what I found as well [View All]

doing a google search. Seems to be this kind of software. CRAP that should be outlawed. I ALSO got one of these calls and I'm going to report it the phone company. I am VERY Glad the subject came up despite how horrendously frightening it's been for Melodybe. Don't let them get to you Melody...they are just trying to harass you...rubbish be gone before someone drops the house on them!!!

btw came across this rather humorous blog about a phone call from the infamous 111-111-1111:

"I just received a call from an Unknown name. The number was 111-111-1111.(seriously) So I hesitantly pick up the phone, and, to my ever-so pleasent suprise, it was none other then...*drum roll*................the president of the united states! And he was sounding more like a redneck then ever.
It was a machine unfortunately though...I've always wanted to let Bush know how I feel about him....Neutral (but with alot of angry curses).
So anyway, it went something to the extent of: *in deep southern(redneck)voice* Hello, this here is G3oRge doublya Bush. And 1 w4nt y0ur vote. I want to Le3d 0ur countree 4 da Next..**pause** uhh....*in backround* how many years do I sever per term Bill? *back to phone* for the next 4 years.. But 1n 0rD3r to do so, I need Yur help. Plus, if ya don't vote fer me, ima give away free nuclear weapons t0 any1 whoo wants em!! heeeyaaa! *rifles going off in backround* Ima catch me a piggeee!! "

Anyway, yea it went something like that, although, I don't think I emphasized the stupidity of it enough, or the redneck-ness, but you get the gist. Is John kerry making these stupid automated calls too? And arent these illegal?"
