Wow this company seems to be on top of things. Maybe I should work for them
since they will be making the $$.. I think companies like this should have
to follow guidelines also. They said they monitor line signals to tell if
it's a fake or not. Isn't that "Phone Tapping". I think the phone company
should be on top also cause these computers could be programmed to HACK
there computers.
So in other words it should be BANNED
