Just got a call from this number. They left a message saying they were calling about our "2008 Dodge Ram." We don't even have that vehicle anymore. We traded it in about 4 years ago. I think they were trying to sell us some sort of bogus warranty or something on a vehicle that we don't even own anymore. What a joke. I blocked the number from calling again.
I have, in the past, filed many complaints with the FCC for the seemingly endless number of violators to the 'Do Not Call Registry”. Although this has proven to be effective and has prevented specifically identified violators from calling again there will always be more idiots who choose to do so. I have since applied all of my valid incoming telephone call numbers with ‘special unique’ assigned ring tones and I do not answer any incoming call that activates the ‘standard’ ring tone. With the ‘special’ ring tones the desired calls can be easily identified from a distance and even before looking at the callerid! One needs not be interrupted from daily activities by having to rush to answer an undesired and intrusive phone call. I advise facilitating this logical ‘solution’. It is very easy, takes only a few minutes and it will solve nearly all of the problems by immediately identifying the intrusives. Unfortunately, as with all technologies, the uniquely and specially assigned identifying ring tones don’t activate 100% of the time because nothing is completely accurate (in rare instances ‘desired’ calls may activate the ‘standard’ ring tone) but since I took this course of action many months ago I have discovered that it performs as designed about 95-98% of the time. I understand that we are all aggravated by the inconsiderate idiots who push their products and services or attempt to obtain money or our personal information when it is our desire and our right to be left alone. We pay for the use of our phones and these other ignorant a$$holes have no right to take advantage of them. I have chosen to live by the philosophy “ignore the ignorant”. It is up to all of us to personally take actions to ensure that our own rights are protected because others are focused entirely on themselves and their desires for personal gain. If no one chose to answer (yes, we have a choice) these intrusively ignorant phone calls all of the efforts of those undesirables would be in vain. Please take a few minutes to give this identification method a try … if you do not feel that it helps then you can always reconfigure the phone numbers back to their original specifications. I sincerely hope that this “solution” helps. It has proven to work for me!
