    I always assume most pimps calling up are robots, with authentic sounding voice simulation - usually. "I've just read through your CV... so tell me, what are you doing at the moment"? It's near the very top of the page...

    Had one guy call me from an insurance firm not too long ago who did legitimately sound robotic, though. I had to wonder. Bit like those "collect your mis-sold PPI refund" cold calls. The entire thing was so utterly scripted it might as well have been one.
