Call blocker might be of some help. Also don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize, or where there are caller IDs that seem odd. Or where there is no caller ID. There’s no way to stop the calls from being initiated.
This person called just to harass Senior Citizens. If you are selling any medical supplies,etc. we get them locally from people you can TRUST. Keep calling from this number and you will be contacted by the Attorney General.
