800Notes – Fight unwanted calls
Dan and I receive some interesting emails in the inbox. Today we received an interesting email today recommending check out 800notes.com. If you wander on over to the site you’ll find yourself staring at dozens of forum like messages reporting phone numbers and short descriptions. The reason for such a site? 800notes was created in order to fight back against unknown phone calls. The question to ask is, "is there a point?"
Got a call from an unrecognized number? Look it up to see who it is, what they want, and possibly how to stop the calls.
Got a fraud call? Report the number, warn others, and stop the crime from spreading.
Don’t know how to stop a telemarketer from calling you? Read what other people are suggesting.
The idea is simple. If you receive a call from an unknown number (missing caller id), irritated individuals can visit 800notes and enter the number in order to cross reference the database to find out who else received calls from the number. Since each number is associated with a short decriptions, you’ll find out if anyone else had to put up with being hung-up on or was forced to listen to someone breathing heavily on the other end
I inquire, shouting out to the readers, curious to know if anyone finds this type of service useful?
