Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like it works, but requires a lot of administration of the caller lists.
My VOIP service (Callcentric) has a telemarketer blocker that requires callers not in my phone book to press a number to complete the call. Since robodialers casn't recognize a voice message "press 'n' to complete this call", my phone never rings. The call shows up in my log, so I can see how many are trying to call me.
The feature is simple to set up, just a check mark in the setup page, and has blocked robocallers 100%.
It's a scam preying on the elderly. They're trying to sell medical alert devices to the unsuspecting and are happy to just take your credit card numbers and names. Buy your medical alert devices from a reputable dealer, not from these parasites. Caller ID is "New York".
Be careful with these NEWYORK Phone Number 212-662-2315. This is the business of scamming.
They will scare you and ask to pay cash on green dot card.
They will drain all your money from your bank account and transfer the money in foreign countries within few minutes.
IRS will never call. Nobody calls. They will send you a notice. If money matter comes never deal. Go personally OR CALL AND CONFIRM.
This thing is happened to all Indian people. These scammers are from other countries.
Called on 9/10/2014 at 3:40 pm. Didn't leave any msg. I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number. Googled it and turned out that this is a scam.
