    These scammers are lower than low.

    This Wired article contains recordings of three researchers that each called 20 of the scam lines and recorded the results.

    If you take the time to listen to one or more (the first is as good as any) and forget the person calling is a researcher, you will see how despicable these psychopathic, scam artists are.

    Kudos to The FTC for going after this scum.

    IIRC I have previously posted this link but believed it appropriate to re-post it here.
