If I don't recognize the number, I let it go to voicemail. Though I will admit that most of the voicemails are simply due to stupid automation that does not recognize that they are being redirected and just continue playing their recording. I will admit to finding a bit of amusement in the voicemail messages in Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese, most of which according to one friend of mine are a mix of vaguely threatening demands for money, threats about immigration status and undecipherable requests along the lines of claims that they have recorded me viewing porn, etc.

Amusing, except for the thought that they wouldn't keep doing it if someone wasn't falling for it. I don't want to blame the victim, but, geesh, who is giving these people money??

I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s one of my pet peeves. Another is footballers thumping their chests over their hearts, and doing a knee slide when they score a goal.

Hmmm... if you think footballers are bad, you should check out the team celebrations in North American football though those can now get a penalty if in the officials or league's opinion they are "violent, destructive, sexual, or prolonged".
