In addition to phones being made useless by the volume of spam, the scourge of mail dressed up to look official when it isn't also could use addressing.
I recently bought a car for the first time in quite a while, and have been inundated with scumbags sending me official-looking doom letters about how my warranty is about to expire and it's vital I call their expensive phone number to pay them money immediately. Similarly, mail often arrives from the "loan disbursement centre" which are dressed up to look like official notifications but in fact are offers of awful credit lines.
At least the phone issue is usually easily solved by setting the phone only to ring for those already in a contact lists, spoofing not-withstanding.
- sigstoat 6y ago> I recently bought a car for the first time in quite a while ugh and they only get information about the loan's origination, so it all keeps going even if you pay the loan off early. my wife bought a car, had troubles, long long story, got a replacement but technically a separate loan. now she gets junk for both cars. they also dig up home mortgages for their junkmail, too.
- jen20 6y agoI actually didn't take a loan for it, so my guess is they take it from the state registration, which is even more annoying.
- sigstoat 6y agohuh. i don't get anything about my ~23 year old vehicle that was bought outright. guess they figure there's no plausible junk mail i could be sent about it?
