Feb 21: Answering machine spam: Recording of Jane with "the financial department"

It's been almost two weeks since the last recording called my answering machine. There have been plenty of live telemarketers that left messages and either live or automated telemarketers that left hangup messages, including two today. Due to having the answering machine, I've stopped answering the phone unless I hear someone I recognize. All too often, it's telemarketers that call. Unfortunately, the prerecorded telemarketer messages haven't gone away. Perhaps my phone number rotated out of the telemarketer lists briefly.

This recording has called Jan 11, 25 and Feb 21. An almost identical recording of "Michelle" with "the mortgage department" called on on Oct 6, 19, Nov 7, 8, 11, twice on Nov 14, and Dec 8 and 20, as well as on Nov 4 with "the financial department". A very similar recording of "Brittany" called on Dec 19. A very similar recording of "Jennifer" with "the financial department" called Dec 5.

There were also calls from "William Harrison" from "the financial department" on Sept 2, 6, 20, 21, 22, 29, Oct 12, 13, 25, 28, Nov 1, 10, and 14.
