7/01/15 16:38 PDT My version shows unknown ID and dead air on voice mail. Suppose I should consider myself lucky, I can see who is calling and if there is no ID I can simply not answer. If they then want to leave a message, they can do so and I can choose to call back or not. If a particular number calls multiple times, I now am able to block them and they no longer ring on my end at all.
Blocked this call the first time they called. According to my CID, they have called several times since and been blocked. You'd think they'd get the message.
Caller ID says number is 213-627-8830. This is a spamming telemarketer call from an outfit that calls itself "California Green" soliciting to sell you Solar panels with a deal based on using taxpayer dollars to tell you how you end up saving money on your electric bill at the cost of your next door neighbors and your own tax dollars. They've call me endlessly, I'm on the national do not call list, and they keep calling anyway. This has been going on for several months, usually 2 times a week, and telling them to stop calling means nothing to them. If you call their number back you get a recording that says it's disconnected and no longer in service so they are also spoofing the caller ID system. I've even pointed this out to their telemarketers and they lie about it every time.
What I really need is help. I want these people stopped and put in jail. It's not easy for me to get to a phone every time they call and it's painful. I'm disabled. My back is done. It literally hurts me to answer the phone. I don't mind answering the phone, but for this scam I don't need it. These people need to be brought to justice and forced to pay off my home so I don't lose it due to the lousy money I get from Social Security Disability that simply won't pay thee most basic of bills. I want the District Attorney or someone to go after these scam artists and bring them down!
Caller ID said "unavailable." The man on the line became incredibly rude when I asked who was calling and what it was about, telling me I needed to "pay attention," "wasn't listening," and was "incredibly slow." My bad sir, just wanted to confirm it was a telemarketer, not one of my dad's clients.
