I like the ones that call better. Wasting their time is more fun than
getting frustrated and blocking.

Like yesterday... it was one of those "An iphone 6s has been ordered on
your amazon account... we think it's fraud.. press 1"

me: presses 1
guy: we've seen an order for an iphone 6s on your amazon account. Is this
valid?
me: yes
guy: but it's being shipped to ohio. Is that correct?
me: yes
guy: oh... you're just being an a---hole...

so funny. made my day. Who orders an iphone 6s in 2020?

I would love to validate both the format and the authenticity. I would
have thought by the year 2020 there would be an API created to do this
validity checking on an email address.

If spammers had a Heaven, that is what it would look like.
