Want to stop repeated telescam phone calls?
Try these alternatives:
1. Do not answer the phone if you see an unknown number on your Caller ID ... let it go to answering machine or voicemail. Many telescammers hang up after 3 rings.
2. If you have a smartphone, get one of the inexpensive or free phone blocker apps at your online app store, and learn how to use it.
3. If your cel is not "smart", read the manual to learn how to set up a "group". Assign the scammer's phone number to that group. Also assign a "silent ring" to that group. You will not hear future calls from that number.
4. Contact your phone service provider. They may have a facility or method to allow you to block numbers.
5. If you buy things online, you might want to google "phone blocker" to see what devices or apps Amazon or other sites have to offer for landlines or smartphones.

I keep getting a call from 302-257-3046, asking me to accept the call. I have no idea what this is, but suspect it to be a toll call, or some type of expensive collect call.
I don't accept. but have no way to block them (virgin mobile
I tried to sign up for Obamacare on healthcare.gov and getting numerous telemarketers for ins. This company calls hourly. Finally got through and they are called the benefits depot
I tried to inquire about healthcare ins online last week, since then, keep getting calls from this number every two hours monday thru friday! Never leave a message.....very harrassing! i'm also on the do not call list, doesn't do any good, these telemarketers have other numbers they are calling me from! Bizarre! Wish I had a way of stopping them!
