Unfortunately, I have u all beat so far. Since 2012, my log shows:
# of calls (not counting duplicates from the same # on the same day) = 2028
# of different numbers = 706
The inventor of the phone blocker deserves congratulations.
Like others I do not answer calls from phone numbers I don't recognize. However, this caller automatically calls back in about a hour if one does not answer the phone. It keeps repeating until one lifts the phone and then hangs up. I don't like to do that but now it verifies to the caller this is at least a valid phone number which he can sell to other Advertisers / Scammers. As for the "Do Not Call List" I have a friend who gets as many calls as I. He complains but it seems to fall on deaf ears at the FCC. The advertisers lobby must be paying the government big bucks to keep the phone lines open.
