The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has just ruled that the telephone companies can and should provide free blockers within their systems to block these scammers and con artists.
There is an effort being made by Consumers Union (they publish Consumer Reports). The effort is a petition to the phone companies—responsible for these phone calls—to offer free scam blockers.
The telephone companies are dragging their feet. They do not screen scammers and are making money off their harassing telephone Robocalls to consumers.
Signing the petition is sure to help. Consumers Union has clout because of the numbers.
Please go to www.EndRobocalls.org to end the madness, harassment and scams. You can also go directly to the Consumers Union website for the same information. Thank you.
Also, contact your Congressman. Congress should address this issue since it is a federal problem. My California Congressman Garamendi has not responded after 12 E-mails, but I hope you have a better Congressperson than me.
I have put my home phone and cell phones on the Do Not Call Registry several times over the years, yet I still get unsolicited calls as well as automated calls to purchase various products. I would like to see a company pay a fine for this violation. The phone number 307 257 8849 is an example. Please inform me how to file a complaint against this company and make sure they pay a fine.
I got a call from this #! it's a call from IRS saying there is a lawsuit pending against me. My taxes have never been a issue. Other sites people claim to receive same call... It's a scam!
