I can't even

When I come home from work, I check the missed calls on my landline phone. Once in a very great while, someone from church will call, or a relative of mine who lacks my office number. Most of the calls are "disposable" - either from "Unknown Caller" or some charity (I NEVER give money to phone solicitors, even for a legit charity, because the telemarketing firm skims off its cut - I either mail in a check or go directly through the webpage).

But this was waiting for me today:

"probably fraud"

I.....what.....overly honest telemarketer? A T and T finally figuring out a way to mark these things as spam? Some dude with an extremely unfortunate name calling me up?

I don't know, but at least I got a laugh out of it.

Worth several laughs indeed.

T-Mobile has begun marking Questionable Callers similarly, though I have to wonder what happens when they mark someone legit by mistake.
