Finally a way of fighting back! I get multiple calls a day from various spammers disguising themselves as telemarketers. I'm on the DNC-it doesn't work with criminals, just as gun control and speeding laws don't stop curmudgeons. Enough complaints have been made about these pests that finally legislation is being introduced in U.S. Congress. Normally I don't like big gov't but this is one exception.
Please check the following websites and encourage your senators and representatives to support this legislation and chase these offending culprits back under their rock!
Senator Chuck Schumer has introduced the Robocop Act that will require phone companies to provide consumers with blocking technology.

June 27, 2016, 6:334 PM, got a call from 213-266-7231. Didn't answer unknown caller, no message. There have been a number of previous calls from the 213 Area Code. Based on your good contributions, I'll block this one. Thanks.
If anyone gets a positive ID on the caller, Please post it!
