I get a lot of these.

Until I read the article, I didn't realize that I was specifically getting these type of calls. I knew it was some scam, and I had heard about the "yes" thing recently, but the calls described in this article are identical to the ones I've been receiving.

They didn't get what they wanted out of me, though.

Whenever I get these robocalls, I either hang up, or I keep saying obscene things and wait to see if there's a human monitoring it to hang up on me.

So when it says something like, "So can I give you more information about a free cruise to the Bahamas?", I answer, "Suck my dick" or "Let me cum on your face", and then wait to see what happens.

I did get the new breed of these calls. They have prerecorded voices asking for various common and semi-common first names, and then it calls you up and asks for you by your first name. (They can only do this when calling from a list where they associate your name with your number.)

A few days ago, I got a call from a bogus caller ID in Los Angeles, asking, "Hi, is this Todd?"

When I asked in return, "Who's calling?", it immediatey hung up on me.
