Caller ID

I think Caller ID is a great invention. Nonetheless, I sometimes (once in a blue moon) answer my phone when I don't recognize the number, which is what I did on Saturday. Only "New York" was given for the number on my Caller ID--okay, so it's not a perfect system. Anyway, when the unidentified woman caller informed me that I had won a thousand dollar gift card, I immediately asked her what she was selling. Her response: "Nothing. For the one-time payment of $6.95...." Click! Apparently, those New York thousand-dollar-gift-card people do not know the meaning of the sound "click" when somebody hangs up on them, because they've attempted to contact me again. I repeat, I think Caller ID is a great invention.
