ROBO-callers

I have been at mom and dad''s the last couple of days. They are pummeled with robo-calls.

The caller is always a gravelly voiced woman. Oddly, for a prerecorded message, the woman stops mid-sentence and gropes around for exactly the right word.  Maybe she had several micro-strokes. Maybe dementia.

I assume my parents are on a robo-call list for old folks. They pick a voice they assume my parents will find trustworthy.

Her name is 'Nancy'.

It isn't working.
