There's already a list of rejected numbers and you can reject anybody who gets through. Everybody starts out getting the "Press 0 if you're a human..." message, and if you don't reject them when they get through they never have to do that again. I can't see how spoofing your own number would happen -- if you call your own number you get a busy signal. Besides, that takes more time and effort than a telemarketer would want to waste on somebody he already knows would like to see his head on a pike. Only a few lying bastards (one reminding us about the gold futures we'd been discussing a few months ago, one wanting to sell us home improvements, probably one more I can't remember) have had the guts to press 0 ("If you're a telemarketer, please hang up...") and get passed through. I kind of miss yelling at them, but not much :-) -- Cheers, Bev FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. It comes bundled with the software. |
