In this episode of From Idea to Done, we chat about Jolly Roger Telephone Company and how they mess with scam callers using their own robots. Check out their website at: https://jollyrogertelephone.com/ J/E: Hey Everyone, I'm Josh and I'm ErickE: Today's Idea is: JollyRogerTelephone.com. This is kind of an interesting concept. Nerds developed a robot to fight robo calls. Josh from a technical standpoint, can you tell us a little more of what this is?J: I like that, nerds to fight robo calls - What they do is use a 3rd party service called TrueCNAM to assign a reputation score to the number. Once the score hits a high enough level it triggers the call to be routed into their system. From there the pirates, as they call them, use some sort of a natural language processing to pick up when the telemarketer is talking. Really interesting how they handle it.E: I think this is pretty great. It would save me a lot of time. Mostly because I usually talk to robot callers, and am just weird on the phone with them.J: Yeah i think it is great, they’ve really dialed into how to mess with the telemarketer. Listen to this: [https://jollyrogertelephone.com/our-robots/ Bloody Billy 3:00 the telemarketer is actually responding to the robot]E: I freaking love this. My thought is if you are bold enough to talk to anyone and everyone wasting their time. I/this app can waste your time right back.J: Yeah I immediately thought of you when you when I saw this on Shark Tank.E: Yes one time they called saying I qualified for some credit something or other. I just started talking to them in binary answering them in zeros and ones anytime they had a question. I figured it would be hypocritical of them to robodial me, and not accept my robot answers. They stayed on the phone with me longer than you would think. Eventually they got tired when my answer to everyone of their questions was zero one one zero zero one one one one one zero. What I liked about the app, is the ability for them to stay on the line with the telemarketer for so long.J: Yeah it’s a difficult problem to solve. E: We have all had, or at least heard one of our stupid friends in the early 2000s with the Hello….hello, I can’t hear you. It’s actually Scott’s voicemail I got you. I hate freaking Scott. There is a little more tech in this than tricking me for 10 seconds.J: As a computer you can pick up is there is sound on the call, but how do you pick up what the person is saying. As a computer if i hear a sound, how do i know the intentionality of what they are saying. For example if someone said “How are you today” I could pick up on keywords or possible phrases, but it gets complicated quickly. You’d have to take the audio in real time and then process the audio into something that can be analyzed and responded to. So i’d guess they have a bucket of phrases that they respond to the caller with, and then inject a longer phrase/sentence so they aren’t just saying “uh huh…. Ok” for the entire call. E: Yeah this product would save me the time of coming up with new material to mess with the robot calls, and actually having to talk to them. My one complaint is with a name like Jolly Roger Telephone. None of the pre-recorded things talk like a pirate. J: But they do have a number of personal robots and even some holiday themed ones as well.E: Big question could our nerds develop Real Pirate Talking Robot Fighter App?J: We absolutely could. The toughest thing is to set the trap right for the telemarketer to keep talking, engage with the right wording so it seems natural.E: YARGH! We now have a project that I am ready to really get behind. If you want to hear some fantastic sample calls from jolly roger telephone. Go to their website. It’s pretty entertaining. Thank you for listening to this

After a long delay I have recorded episode 16 of the Jolly Roger Telephone podcast. In this episode I discuss "ringless voicemail" and the "Can you hear me now?" scam that have both been circulating around the internet for a few weeks. I share three fantastic (and extremely vulgar) calls with you. If you don't have time to listen, here's what I basically think about these two issues: Ringless Voicemail: Somehow this turned into a partisan issue. I guess someone at the Republican National Committee supported a proposal to the FCC and now the headlines are saying it's a Republican idea. But it's just a proposal by various trade organizations to get around the "opt in" nature of telemarketing calls to your mobile. I cannot imagine this will ever be approved, but if it is, we will all just sign up for a voicemail transcription service and these messages will be filtered by a junk mail algorithm. Or we all just shut off our voicemail. I don't think it's a big deal. "Oh my headset slipped. Can you hear me now?" The headlines say "Don't say yes! They can use your recording to force you to pay later!" This is another issue that surprises me. Even the FTC and BBB tell you not to engage. There's a great article from the Archer Security Group at http://www.archersecuritygroup.com/robocallers-pretend-real/ that discusses this. Kerry Tomlinson traced it back to the source and it seems pretty benign. A scammer threatened to take a business to court because they supposedly had a recording of him agreeing to purchase the services. I'm sure if the business had pushed, it would have fallen apart in court. But rather than deal with it, they just paid. Have any of you heard of a telemarketer successfully suing anyone because of a doctored recording? Yeah, me neither. And I don't think we ever will. There are hundreds of recordings of me saying 'yes' on YouTube. Snip one of those and bring it on, telemarketers! Anyway, here's the podcast. There are three calls in here, and two of them are extremely raunchy so you have been warned. Thank you for listening! Roger

In this podcast, I discuss Google Voice integration and how Jolly Roger Telephone service is the PERFECT companion to any Google Voice service. In order to prevent abuse, Google has placed some restrictions on their simultaneous ring features, but I have managed to work within these restrictions so the Jolly Roger bots can intercept telemarketers to Google Voice numbers. This podcast discusses how I do this, how you set it up, and the reasons why there are a few more steps than the traditional Landlubber service. However, it's totally worth it. As I try to tell everyone - do not block telemarketers, but send them to Jolly Roger bots instead. Every minute spent with a bot is one minute less that they can spend with someone else. If you have Google Voice, then please let me take your telemarketing calls! This podcast includes an call intercepted automatically to a Google Voice subscriber who is using the Jolly Roger Telephone service. Please enjoy and help spread the word that there is a solution to outbound unsolicited telemarketing! Please let me know what you think of the service, the calls, and the podcast.

This is a very fun podcast. It is a series of seven calls that came to the same subscriber over about an hour's time. It's an offshore medical supply company - I think of them as scammers but it might be quasi-legal. They are trying to get a medicare or supplemental insurance number out of the bots. It ends up being about 42 minutes of their time wasted by Jolly Roger bots. The best part is the original "victim" of these scammers (i.e. my subscriber) is using the Simultaneous Ring feature that allows Jolly Roger to automatically answer these calls. My subscriber did not answer the phone - they may not have even noticed the calls (other than the very entertaining emails that came through at the end of each call). Jolly Roger picked up and WORE THEM DOWN. Bring it on! There's a little bit of commentary between calls, but it's mostly this same company speaking to different robots. Very entertaining, especially if you get calls like this. If you have elderly parents, I highly recommend this service. It is scary how much they already knew about "me", and they are very persistent. If you have a landline, there's no reason to suffer through telemarketing anymore. Subscribe to Jolly Roger Telephone and get protected from these scammers! Thanks for listening, Roger

The Jolly Roger Telephone Company provides robots to talk to your telemarketers. In this episode, I make a HUGE announcement about the new "Summon a Pirate" service. This service makes it much easier for you to use the Jolly Roger Telephone bots. I also play some calls of telemarketers feeling helpless and lashing out.
