If our government representatives would get there heads out of their behinds they'd make automated phone calls and texts illegal. That's not going to happen because that's anti-business I guess.
I remember the spam complaints from 30 years ago. You'd sit down for dinner and you knew the call would come in from the telemarketer. That seems so quaint now. It would actually be a person on the line trying to sell you something.
How many SPAM automated phone messages do you get now, every day? I think I average about 5. But now it's also turning into text spams. I feel like I'm being violated in quite disturbing ways.
And email. I stopped buying from Walmart.com because of the SPAM, and Amazon has pushed it right to the limit and 2 steps beyond. It obviously works or they wouldn't do it.
Could you imagine actually listening to one of those automated calls and then saying "oh yes, I was meaning to get a loan from a random phone message." I can't understand the business model because the response rate has got to be so low. But who knows.
Probably the same people who are using the Paycheck loan companies answer the phone calls about loans. I guess if you were really desperate for money, then it would be worth listening to.
Maybe that's where the government officials should be helping. There's a way to tell if someone needs help. If you see someone go into a Payday loan store, they really need help, so let's give them some help as a society instead of letting unscrupulous companies take advantage of them. But that would require our government to work for the people, not the corporations.
And that is a different story.
