When I say an inordinate amount, I mean a minimum of five calls a day with a high point of ten reached this past Tuesday. None of them are repeat numbers as I block the numbers after they call--something I do for all unknown numbers that either do not leave a message or that leave scam messages like some of these have. Today was my first day to not receive the minimum ... for that matter, I didn't receive any.
Meanwhile, political pollsters have also been calling our house almost nonstop. As we are still waiting for word on our refrigerator (yes, still), I've been answering these calls and then politely disengaging. Again, we didn't get one today; I wonder if it was a scam-caller holiday.
Hopefully, today's spam-free day is a sign of times to come.
