So I go search the web. Nothing. Not just nothing, google comes up with those asshole sites…trulio, whocalled.us etc. They all look the same…paste the number here we have information…then you get a loading icon bar of some sort for a few minutes. Finally you get a burred out fake report… chatgpt of course lists those sites as legitimate. Im like, they’re clearly scam sites but chatgpt responds with im sorry for giving you commercial sites instead of free sites.

My dude, who keeps calling, you had a fucking chance to leave a message. I’m not picking up the phone and my next move is to block your phone number. Keep calling…

I have no clue what the end game is. But it clearly points to how fucking useless our phone system is. To the point where I cannot trust any caller unless I know the person and have the phone in my list. There’s no point in calling and not leaving a message. That’s the stupidest thing anyone can do.

    Is there any reason you wouldn’t just block the number and move on with your day?

      Done. Lol. I’m just ticked off at the inability to just know who is calling. Its basic human firewall…contacts, attachments, etc but in phone land.

      I’m blocking 6 - 20 numbers per day from random numbers that don’t lead anywhere but promise me a pre-approved loan (when they were able to leave a message). I don’t have a voicemail message and I deactivated the voicemail on purpose so they couldn’t leave messages to prevent them filling up my mailbox.

      I’m tired of blocking numbers that don’t exist.
