They keep calling my elderly mother trying to scare her into getting a "free security system". They tell her they know for a fact that there have been a number of break-ins on her street. Fortunately my mother doesn't believe them and hangs up. But they haven't given up -- they keep calling and she keeps hanging up.
I keep getting calls from this number from WA, I don't pick up however they don't leave messages. I get calls from this number no less than 2 to 3 a week. Please stop!!!!!

When I receive a call from a new number I put it in my contacts list under Scum Suckers and assign it NO ring tone so at least after the first call they don't bother me anymore (I have filled all of the numbers in each and am up to Scum Sucker 47 now). Some phone companies will allow you to block a limited amount of numbers, however this is only a whack-a-mole solution but the only one I can offer.
Told me I won a free home security system!!!! Nothing in this world is free!!!! I wish they would put all these scammers behind bars!!!! I guess the do not call list doesn't work!!!!!!
