SarahBethSortino Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Today I got a phone call from a Rhode Island phone number (Brown is my top choice). I jumped on the phone immediately only to find out it was a cold call from someone selling life insurance. I almost threw the phone across the room!

GeorgeC07 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I feel the same when I hear the new email sound alert from my phone, but it's been so often that I have become numb now. johnallen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koutlilor Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Same. I got an email notification on my phone and IT WAS TARGET. Needless to say, I wanted to scream.. johnallen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenEyedTrombonist Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Same over here too. I've got my notification sound up, but my heart starts racing with every ping now. x] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukebw Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Same here. I am checking emails (and spams) more than ten times a day but nothing happens yet. I also applied to Brown University and was interviewed two weeks ago. I haven't heard back since. To drive out anxiety, I keep distracting myself with statistics books and movies.

pebs Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I have been answering so many stupid spam phone calls the past two weeks; my god. Thank you, graduate admissions process, for helping me confirm my number in at least 12 telemarketer/scammer databases so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases, if you tell them you want to be taken off their contact list they are legally obligated to do so. That doesn't mean they always will, but it might get a few of them off your back. pebs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Google Fi and when a lot of spammers call my number Google has already marked them as potential spam, so I have that going for me. 17 hours ago, GreenEyedTrombonist said: Same over here too.

Back to flinching every time I get a notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the couple that were live humans, I gave them an earful about calling a number on the do not call registry. 1 hour ago, .letmeinplz// said: I have Google Fi and when a lot of spammers call my number Google has already marked them as potential spam, so I have that going for me. I was already heavily considering switching to Google Fi; I think this might have cinched it. Do you have any issues with customer service? The only reason I think I'm still hanging on is that I've been with T-Mobile forever and their customer service beats the pants off the others. Congrats on your interview invite!
