The best course of action to take with the scammer calls is to find out what telephone service they use and report Fraud/Abuse to them directly. It can be found online usually.
The Do Not Call Registry is a fraud and a waste of taxpayer's money. If they actually DID anything to stop these calls to the public there would be a decrease in them, NOT AN INCREASE!!
Robo-dialed my home # at 11:01am. Picked up knowing it was a telemarketer. No one was there! Blocked the number.
PLEASE READ BELOW!
FACT 1 - the DNC list CLEARLY does not work! Everyone knows this...or you should know this by now!
FACT 2 - filing a complaint with the FCC does not work! A total and complete waste of time. Been there. Done that.
FACT 3 - having an unlisted phone will not help you.
FACT 4 - asking/begging telemarketers to take you off their call list – you’ll get laughed at!
FACT 5 - no "class action" law suits are being filed and certainly, none are being LITIGATED.
FACT 6 – contacting the BBB – LAUGHABLE!!! The BBB and the National Chamber of Commerce are corrupt organizations that sell their ratings to the highest bidder. You can forget them.
STOP BEING FRUSTRATED OVER TELEMARKETER CALLS!
STOP BEING A VICTIM!!!
PLEASE DO THIS! PURCHASE A CALL BLOCKING TELEPHONE!!!
Call blocking phones are very inexpensive $40-$60 and they come with, at least, one wireless handset. Very, very convenient.
DON'T GET MAD – HIT BACK!
STOP BEING ANNOYED. STOP COMPLAINING!
BUY A CALL BLOCKING PHONE!
Uniden and Panasonic make CALL BLOCKING telephones. They’re cheap - $40-$60 and they usually come with a 2nd wireless handset.
COSTCO & AMAZON SELL THEM.
They work beautifully! These phones also block
“PRIVATE,” “OUT OF AREA” and "UNKNOWN" calls!!!
I have had the same home number and the same business phone number for over 15 years and my home and my business lines (both published) seem to be on every call list imaginable. I bought a Panasonic call blocking phone for my home and I bought a Uniden call blocking telephone for my business.
NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH TELEMARKETERS. THEY CAN’T GET THROUGH!
We can stop these telemarketers IF we all buy a call blocking phone!
I never answer unless I have to, (expecting a call and ID unknown). It would be nice if these calls could be forwarded to the FCC, (Federal Communications Commission). Actually to a local congressman would be nice too. I bet some laws would be flying through the Senate and House after that.
Rec'd 3 calls within the last 3 weeks, each I.D.ed as " Customer Help".
No messages left.
You are sooooooo correct, jetyames. The Federal "Do Not Call List" is absolutely useless.
Unless and until our unresponsive political reps are also bothered by these telemarketers, nothing will be done to protect the everyman/woman.
