Thank you. I shall put that in my address book (physical - not electronic) for
future reference. MLoo has indicated that he won't be darkening your guest
towels for some time and requests that I forward the phone care of Nanook in
Alaska.

Exactly. As I indicated in another post - I put it into the middle of the
outbound message because some legit callers were confusing it with "The Beep"
that everyone waits for.

Live callers may not. But, nearly all of the 'bots are programmed to begin
"rolling tape" as soon as there is any noise from the answering line. And they
also are programmed to hang up on hearing the tone of the #3 on the keypad.

I have listened to enough of their messages to get a call-back number or other
contact information and ratted many of them out to the Feds. One notorious
"credit repair" bunch has been fined a meeelion and a half rasbukniks/pazuzas
for "repeated and egregious" violations of the Do Not Call lists. Hasn't seemed
to slow them down, however.
