    Exactly why you shouldn’t press the hang up button when unknown caller happens. Just mute the call and let it ring out in silence. Don’t press the voicemail button either to send them straight there. It’s like social media, any interaction is a positive for their bot system and the only way to avoid making things worse is to not interact at all.

        Don’t fax machines directly initiate the handshake?

        I remember being screamed at by angry modem noises in ancient times when calling a fax number.

          I’ve spent the last 10 years honing my ability to screetch like a modem/fax machine. Jokes on them…

      I’ve turned off my voicemail with my cell carrier, and send all unknown numbers to voice mail.

      It’s a peaceful life.
