Fun Fact: Google Maps isn’t calling you.  A scammer pretending to be Google Maps is calling you.

So I’ve got a new technique for dealing with the HOARD of spam calls I’ m getting lately.

Step 1. Realize I don’t know the number and neither does Hiya.

Step 2. Answer with “Cyber crimes, Berowits.”

Step 3. enjoy the * click* on the other end of the line.

It doesn’t hurt that there is an NSA listening post in my area code.

At the marina we used to have college or high school kids working the desk in the summer, and they would get calls like, “Hi, I’m calling from [mumbley-official-sounding-words] Directory and just wanted to verify your listing information?” They would then rattle off our address, of course, and the hungover kids would just nod and say ‘mm hmm’ and then the caller closes with , “ok great, and is that where we’d send an invoice?”

We trained them to hang up, but still... we’d occasionally get a bill in the mail for some bogus “Directory” listing, of course for some outrageous price. Names like “Blue Yellow Pages” for example. The Blue Yellow Pages was a real company and even sent a PERSON to our location and had ACTUAL PHONEBOOKS that they published. They were very thin, and I enjoyed flipping through to see which of our competitors were stupid enough to be listed. It wasn’t zero.

Of course we never paid the bogus invoices that came through and would just post them for the kids to see, and hopefully to learn from...
