Have received 7-8 calls over last 2 days from different numbers, this one from Conn) others CA & KY. I assume this rash of calls is from the same scammer bouncing different numbers to try & get someone to answer. Today I finally did & robo caller saying someone from my number requested info on a back brace & press one for more info. We did not call. Of course on DNC list but makes no difference to these scammers & eviedently telephone Co would rather make money from a few of these than serve the rest of us! Gov seems useless in this invasion of my home.
A reply to David Evans, Joe, Brit, Charlie, Kiwibyrd, Tom, PO'ed AND scores of other GOOD people who only complain-&-complain-&-complain about these awful Scammers-&-Spammers: what is actually needed is to get Congress to re-institute, in law (or - in Law), some elements of "Elizabethan Crime and Punishment" from a few hundred years ago in England when the Kings' law was a "no nonsense" matter and if a person committed an offense against the King or his agents, the accused offender (today, that would be the 'spammers' & 'scammers') quickly got [1] whipped at the post (in order to 'seriously' get their attention), [2] had their hand or foot cut off & then seal the open wound with molten lead, or [3] be drawn and quartered by being tied to 2 big draft horses that were whipped to gallop in two different directions, [3] spend life in the castle's prison quarters ... and a hundred other punishments ((that is,
"attention-getting" procedures)) - and, today, then put the criminal AND punishment all on social media as well as on PBS and standard broadcast TV news programming - - as a ON-GOING "warning" to all other "would be" scammers and spammers whose "attention" has not yet been obtained !! THEN - decent people might get some "peace & quiet" on their computers and telephones.
