I've been getting those spam calls lately from Consumer Insurance Bureau, or something like that. But I also expect to get a lot of important calls from unfamiliar numbers, so I have to pick up. I also figured out that if I call back these random numbers, they pick up. At first I thought it was a human on the line, but pretty soon I realized it's a bot that is pretty good at asking for and collecting your information, but not at getting off script. Of course, I fed it lots of BS information, but I also experimented with Turing tests and seeing if I could get connected to a real human. I got through to a real human twice. Once they hung up on me until I told them my name was Mike Wazowski, and another time they hung up on me when I started asking questions about who they work for. I haven't gotten calls from that bot since then.
