Scam Slam

For what seemed like the fiftieth time this week, I got a call a few minutes ago from "Jeremiah" who announced that he was an employment specialist on a recorded line.  He said that he might have a job for me.  Then he asked me "how are you doing today?"  Now, I know that this is actually a computer calling, not a real person (although the voice quality is truly amazing -- it sounds like a living and breathing human.)  I decided to have some fun, so I responded in Russian and said that I did not speak English.  At that point, Jeremiah laughed and said he was glad I was doing well.  I guess the computer isn't actually that smart.
