I let all unknown numbers go to VM but I've recently had a few that came from a "cruise ship" company.

Here's a recent one. Looks like they're just trying to get to the "yes."

Sorry about that. I was having a little problem with my headset anyway. My name is Emily, and I'm calling because you stayed at one of our resorts in the past and you qualify for a 75% savings on an amazing 4 day 3 night vacation Getaway in Magical, Orlando, Florida and a 3 day 2 night stay in sunny South Florida where you will then depart on a fabulous 2 night cruise to the bahamas and as an added bonus you'll receive an unlimited mileage rental car. So you can visit all the attractions now. Here's the best part we're going to include your breakfast lunch and dinner for your entire vacation as well as your entertainment on board the cruise, and I only have a few questions to ask before a transfer you to a personal travel coordinator who will give you all the details on your vacation, okay? I'm so sorry. I didn't hear you. Clearly can I ask you a few questions before a transfer you to a travel coordinator who will give you all the details on your amazing vacation? Can I ask you a few questions before a transfer you to a travel coordinator? Who will give you all the details on your amazing vacation?

Audio editing has been around for a pretty long time, so it is kind of bizarre that people are only discovering this now. There is no way anyone would accept a voice recording as authorization here in Norway, and I am pretty sure America had this tech at least as long.

Magnus Itland you might be surprised at the gullibility of most Americans. Look at our current president for confirmation.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
