Decided to listen to the whole spam call about Medicare "special benefits" (or something)

To talk to a specialist, press 1, to be put on the do not call list, press 9.

Yeah, right.

Now I answer the phone without saying a word. Just listen and too often, no one is there. Even with that "Medicare" call it finally disconnected.

The last time I told him if he called here again I was going to turn him in for harrassment. I haven't heard from him in over a week.
