Of late, when this type of call is received, I answer the call and politely ask them to: Please add my number to their internal do not call list, please. It seems to have cut down on these types of calls over the last couple of weeks. I began doing this when not answering the calls was not working and I was receiving these unwanted calls all day long. Hope it continues to help.
I am so friggin' sick of all these calls and our so called government not being able to stop them. Welcome to privacy! We have none. The DO NOT CALL LIST does NOT do a bit of good. These same calls come over and over and over.
Please people, if you answer blow a damn whistle in their ear - - that is if they're not robots!
One, the DNC list is NOT a call blocker-never was
Two, criminals aren't going to follow the laws anyways
Three, the only hearing you're going to damage by blowing anything into the receiver is your own.
