bongwizzard posted:Oh yea, my coworkers and I will send each other the one star reviews for the hotels we get stuck in, it can be funny as hell. But picking food by reading internet reviews seems like picking music based on youtube comments. On vacation it's a decent way of finding places that aren't chains and won't give you the runs.

Yeah at least my cable company will just raise rates without twlling you, 'forget' about agreed on prices, not deliver their claimed speeds, and advertise prices that don't include arbitrary amounts of fees. And pays off the local government to shut down municipal internet projects, to ensure their monopoly status.

Lenny is a great bot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSoOrlh5i1k It's a series of prerecorded messages that trigger whenever there's a gap in the conversation, designed to keep them in the telemarketer script as long as possible.

ChocNitty posted:A lot of city kids are going to the suburbs to scam people with these coupon cards that supposedly give big discounts on local businesses, like unlimited two for ones. Asking $20 for these plastic cards, claiming its a school fundraiser. I overheard one reasonable person asking to see the kids student ID, and of course he gave a BS excuse. They had legit ones in my city, they were really quite good deals. So good that no businesses signed up to do it the next year.

The real trick for the coupon books is for vacations - if you're gonna be spending a couple weeks somewhere, buy the book, and now you have a handy list of local nonchain places, with abridged menus and coupons. I mean yeah you could try to fight through yelp for recommendations i guess, but the coupon book works better IME, and actually saves money.

Thats just caller id blocking. Scammers are spoofing it, and a common scam is a scummy phone company allowing people to make tons of spoof calls through their service to 1800 numbers. Since each phone company involved in the chain gets a cut, they split the scambucks.
