      While I loved PropertyCity while I lived there, my early years in RuralTown showed that’s where the real Country really is. We had a herd of FarmAnimals and would always go down to the WaterBody on the weekends where the LargeMammals roamed free and wild!

          The other day I was having a bad day and had a call from an unknown number, so I decided to pick up but let them talk first. They just hang up and have not called again.

          I don’t think it was a good idea to pick up in the first place, but it was curious in the end.

            Iirc, that’s usually a sign that the robot caller has found a machine on the other end, since most people first respond with some sort of greeting right off the bat.

              So, it’s not that bad, after all. Maybe should learn me a modem greeting to use instead of “Hello”

                The phrase itself doesn’t matter, they are just listening for some indication of human speech at the start of the call.

                If nothing is said, then the system believes that it is a machine doing the same thing.

                Provided, of course, that their spam system doesn’t just starts playing a recorded message anyway.

              nah it’s been happening to me lately too. I pick up, say hi, and it immediately hangs up. I’m sure they’ve sold my number as active now.

          It’s probably “automated” but some poor sales rep still needs to do a bunch of work to keep the automation going, guarantee it.

    Back during the real estate frenzy of the late 2010s I would get calls all the time asking how much I would sell my house for. I’d say “I could probably let it go for 2 million dollars.” (Even at the ridiculous peak, it was never worth more than 750k.) There would be a few seconds of silence on the line while they actually looked up my house. Then they’d say “oh.” And hang up as fast as humanly possible.

    Abundance of PascalCase in ThreadName disturbs me. If you don’t use FormatSymbol as format symbol at least name variables in camelCase. Or snake_case, or at the very least SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE.

    This reads to me like someone signed up for a website with a fake location.

    Hmm, I’m thinking - We should place a bunch properties and just name them something like "${username}" - "${password}" and variations of that, and see we can “find/replace” cross-site script them into sending their bots details

    not even using delimeters or format specifiers for string interpolation. theyre just doing sed s/PropertyCity/../ ? rookie mistake.
