You don't have to be all that old to remember the excitement of "outlet shopping" - hitting special shopping centers (or even whole towns - Freeport, Maine, anyone?) for deals on overstock, returned, or sometimes separate bargain-lines of product. It only makes sense that the nation's biggest online retailer, Amazon.com, would play this game with its own outlet - without the bricks and mortar (and ancillary candy and fudge vendors).

As millions of Americans signed up for Amazon Prime weigh the benefits of Amazon Prime perks - (both the new one or two and the ones being taken away) against the recent membership price increase - Amazon Outlet is probably a reason to stick around.

Robocalls can be relentless: Is your car warranty about to expire? Can we make you a great offer to buy your house? Have you seen these irregularities with your Amazon account? Are you aware your utilities are about to be shut off?
In 2021 alone, phones in the U.S. were pummeled by more than 50 billion robocalls, according to YouMail, a robocall blocking and analysis company. That's more than 150 calls for every person in the country. In July, that number was 3.8 billion.
The result? Many of us just don't answer our phones unless we recognize the number.

The damage done can have serious consequences, intended and not. In addition to fraudulent marketing, ignoring unknown numbers could prove dangerous - take the hiker lost on a mountain in Colorado who was reported to have ignored repeated telephone calls from Lake County Search and Rescue because they didn't recognize the number. Consequently, the hiker didn't even know anyone was searching. It's a behavior common to most of us. A 2019 Consumer Reports survey found that 70% of Americans don't answer the phone if they don't recognize the number.
Are Robocalls Legal?
In general, unless a company has your written permission, it is against the law to contact you via robocall, espec
