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 got a call and called back they said I wanted health care. I have health insurance I called back ask to be removed and he said I should get a job or a life. I know I make more than he does and I advised them if someone calls again someone up there is getting a [***] kicking.
I called back four times from my 9 year old phone and they said they are happy to remove me so they don't have to hear my voice anymore. Nothing surprises me in America anymore. Rude [***] punk [***]. Stop bothering me.
