I got a phone call just now saying that I won a trip to Florida, and for more details, to press nine.

Yeah Right!

How many of you have got calls from india, or stuff like I described above? Are you annoyed by them? Do you work for them?

Haven't got a call like that, mainly just telemarketers trying to sell us phones or something.

I hate recorded messages. They're making the unemployment rate go higher.

Yeah, I used to, but now the Australia Government has started a new service that stops those type of calls if you sign up to it. We did, but we didn't sign up for our holiday house :3

Nah, I didn't press Nine. It's a scam.

Once you press that Nine, they get your details and stuff.

And that's not good.

Oh yeah, There are warnings everywhere about those type of things. Especially if they say to press a number, or * and #.

One time one of those "Congratz! You're the 999999th visitor!" banners poped up and I bought it. (I was like 11, anyway), so I called the mothefucking number and the first thing the operator says is "Oh, hon, sorry. It's only for grown ups", and hung up. It really pissed me off at that time because it was a trip to madrid in a ship or something, but now I see it was a scam. They're all a scam.

Besides, my parents got mad at me when they saw the phone bill because I made a call to the US. International calls arent cheap, you know. Even if they're 2 minute long.
