I had a similar situation a couple years back-them calling from about 3 or 4 numbers daily. I rounded the numbers up and found someone in the local office who cared enough to help me and the next day the calls stopped.
i never answer calls if I don't know the number. If they don't leave a message and they call again I answer then hang up. How do we stop this craziness ?
Forget the complaints to anyone. It will not help. The companies that sell thousands of blocks of numbers to scammers/telemarketers also slip (wink –wink; nudge-nudge) money to your elected officials to keep this industry going and will never do anything to control or stop it.
Buy a call blocker (go online and search) or just ignore calls unless it’s someone you know or they leave a legitimate message. Ignore any call from 202 area code – nothing good ever comes out of Washington, DC.
Do not use a loud whistle or air horn to discourage them. All this will do is p*iss them off and they could retaliate by spoofing your number as their caller ID. You won’t appreciate the recipients of their scams calling back to b I t c h at you.
This is our new world and we have to live in it and adjust accordingly. If you have seniors in your family, help them deal with this. Never call back one of these numbers. If it’s offshore (e.g. Jamaica) you may get hit with serious charges on your bill.
Forget the do not call list. It only applies to legitimate businesses.
Our next problem will be when the techno-geeks create a device to outwit call blockers. Ain’t life grand.
202-770-2406 and 202-558-3142 with an ID of ALA must be working Florida because I am getting one to two calls from them every day. They just don't give up (and don't leave a message of course) and I won't answer my phone unless I know who's calling.
