    So apparently the new shit spam evil calls can record the most minimal sample of your voice and then spoof it to your friends and family…

    It almost seems worth saying nothing until ‘they’ say something, but then, what if they are a spoofed caller…

    Oh shit. Just don’t use phones any more.
