3rd call today so far with an automated voice telling me my "social security card is being suspended due to suspicious activity"  >:( >:(

Literally 3 calls so far today.

They come in waves.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

the calls come from overseas, not much you can do about it. it's pretty stupid: how can a "social security card get suspended" unless you lose your citizenship.

It's interesting how big this industry is. They have programs that monitor if someone picks up and how long they stay on the phone for. They increase their calls and change call styles based on the data collected.
The latest, most sophisticated, one I've come across is them calling with a person's social. (Which can be bought online.)
Pretty crazy.

I am not one of them. Look, we have plenty of places in JS to discuss whatever anyone wants. The constant same discussion over and over outside of JS is just to much.

1, When boxes come right after they took the recycling.
2, When Target sends lots of boxes for an order that could have fit in one.

Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

When someone parks a vehicle in close proximity to my home or office and has an endless loop of music, announcements or a combination thereof blasting from speakers for hours with no end.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

This should be in the pros and cons of where you live thread.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Nah. I have the phone numbers for the most frequent violators, and they usually rectify the situation after I alert them to it.

Does that include ice cream trucks who park outside toddler bedroom windows at bedtime? If yes, do you offer this as a service?
