Who called from 2012982552

Wife's cell.......no one answers....no message.  Carriers don't care.  Yes # on DNC national useless

Received a call on my cell phone.  Blocked it.  No biggie.  The DNC List works, the problem is telemarketers have gotten more sophisticated software that allows them to robo call and create fake phone numbers.  DNC is not equipped to deal with such methods.  So if you do not have a "blocker" on your cell phone or otherwise, then you are the useless one, not the system.

I get more and more of these calls every day.  I realize that these scumbags don't care that there is a DNC list (Yes, I have been a member since 2006 - AND I have updated), BUT  -- am I missing something here?! --  how do you block a call from a number who has never called you before?!!? If you try to block every call from every no. you don't recognize, your cell phone becomes a list of numbers of SCAMMERS, not personal contacts.  Am tired of this crap!

You don't need to update your phone on the DNC list. Its there until you remove it or change the number.  Criminals are not about to obey the DNC laws though.

Report your callers here, not just to the DNC alone:

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.
