No It Really Did

....it happened just this way.

Picture if you will:

(woman sitting at keyboard, room is dim, or maybe her contact lenses are dirty. Phone rings. She squints at the call display, hesitates, then picks up the receiver)

"Hello?"

(she is met with silence and is just about to hang up when a pre-recorded message filled with static begins to play)

"(crackle crackle) Credit Card (crackle crackle hum) Urgent (hiss crackle hum crackle crackle crackle) Press One now"

(frowning, she presses the number)

"Hello?"

(man's voice is barely audible)

"Hello, this B....(crackle hiss)"

"I'm sorry, who is this? Is there a problem with our credit card?"

"This is B....(voice fades to a pitch only heard by dogs and whales) do you want to (crackle) interest rate...." (crackle buzz hiss)

"Which company are you calling from? Is there a problem?"

"Look, do you want to lower your interest rates or not?"

"Lower our what? Which company is this?"

(she waits for a response, gets nothing but silence for a moment and then the solid buzzing of the phone line begins and she realizes..................)

It had been a telephone solicitor and he'd hung up on her!

No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way. The day HRG made the spam caller go away.
