To all who get harassed by this number like I did, please enter your number in the federal Do Not Call list. Then the next time this turkey calls or others like them, you can enter a complaint and request it be prosecuted. I did that now for this one, and hope they go after the jerk!
For a scammer the Do Not Call list law is one more law to break. You need a call blocker. For a cell phone you can download a call blocking ap or you can put the pets in your contacts list and assign him the ring tone "no ring" or "silence". For a land line you can purchase a call blocking device at Best Buy or on Amazon.
