These jerks call me several times a week and this has been going on for years. I never answer but finally I thought I'd try to get off their list. As soon as I told a "representative" politely that I was not interested and to take me off their list, she hung up on me. So much for being civil and polite. I hope that karma catches up to those pieces of slime. The sad thing is that I was put on hold for about five minutes before I could talk to one of these creeps so there must be lots of people falling for this crap.
Sorry about that. I see I have not made a previous post for this number. Here's how I dump scammers!!!
* HOW TO DEFEAT HARASSMENT/ROBO CALLS!! CALL BLOCKERS WORK!!
* *
I research a harassment/scam caller then post this msg every time a robo number calls. NEVER press X to opt out, and NEVER respond in any way because it just adds your name to multiple robo calling lists.
* *
The federal no-call list is a joke - the government does nothing. The phone company wants the money from robo companies and will do nothing to stop the harassment/robo calls. Local police do not have the manpower or technology to track/block these calls. Most robo callers are criminals/scammers. Here is a one-time relatively low cost way to beat those harassment/robo calls.
* *
I have now defeated >90% of harassment and robo calls. I went on-line to Amazon and purchased an in-line "CPR CALLBLOCKER"! It has an inventory of up to 1200 numbers in your call blocker list. Be careful in setting up the list or you get unexpected blockages of valid incoming calls. Start by blocking all calls using caller ID’s of UNAVAILABLE, PRIVATE, or WITHHELD. I have also blocked many robo area codes which have no friends or family – 201, 212, 231, 303, 304, 305, 307, 312, 321, 323, 331, 347, 360, 401, 505 ,513, 516, 518, 605, 608, 630, 646, 650, 701, 708, 740, 757, 773, 810, 815, and 970. To block robo calls from area codes with friends and family, DO NOT block the area code, use ONLY complete (area code with phone number) 10 digit number inputs to the blocking list. Add to the list when a new robo/harassment caller gets through! Never use 7 digit inputs to the blocking list or you will have problems! Keep a complete written list of area codes and individual blocking numbers. A small glitch when entering a number into the list can mess up your entire blocking list requiring a hardware reset and complete reprogramming of the list.
* *
Harassment/robo callers frequently use a spoofing APP to create phony incoming caller ID’s on your phone. Hidden characters in a spoofer Caller ID’s number can sneak the robo call past some blockers. I use a separate secondary SENTRY BLOCKER that ignores hidden characters and blocks/kills the call when it’s on.
* *
There are many brands of call blockers other than the ones I have described. Choose yours and BLOCK THOSE HARASSMENT CALLS!!!!!
* *
It is really great fun watching my call blocker light-up and then hang-up when the harassment/robo Caller ID matches the blocking list!!! I especially enjoy it when the call blocker hangs up on a persistent harassment caller!!! Take back your telephone from harassment/robo callers!!!!

callers are passed thru unless Sentry Blocker rejects/hangs up line.
SENTRY BLOCKER hangs up on all black listed phone numbers. White list numbers are ignored
or passed thru for phone/answering machine. Non-listed numbers have
British/Spanish/German msg for solicitors to hang up, and all other
unlisted callers to dial zero to leave msg on answering machine.
When Sentry Blocker is OFF, all calls pass thru to phone/answering machine
unless blocked by CPR BLOCKER.
HOME PHONE rings once if CPR BLOCKER or SENTRY BLOCKER blocks call. Call rings
thru if blockers are OFF or call is passed by blockers.
TO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ANSWER YOUR PHONES AND ASK TO BE REMOVED. DON'T DO IT....THEY WILL NOT REMOVE YOU, THEY DON'T CARE.
THE DNC COMPLAINT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THE JERKS FIND A WAY TO GET AROUND THE RULES.
JUST STOP ANSWERING THE PHONE AND USE A RECORDER AND DELETE ANY NUMBERS YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE.
IF YOU WANT TO BLOCK THEM, DO SO...IN MY CASE I CAN ONLY BLOCK ABOUT 10 NUMBERS SO DOING THAT ISN'T WORTH IT FOR ME.
I WISH THESE PEOPLE COULD BE SUED FOR STALKING...... BECAUSE THATS WHAT IT IS....
This number called my DNC land line this morning. I answered because the caller ID just said "Chicago, IL" and I know people in Chicago. It was an automated message that had already started and was rambling about slipping and falling. I assume this was for some bogus medical alert device. I have blocked the number.
These flaming anal sphincters keep calling my DNC listed landline with their "free" medical alert system scam. For some reason, my call blocker didn't disconnect them automatically even after 3 rings. It may be time to replace it with a newer model.
Seen I missed call, called # back...."NOTHING" ?
Just dead, so another one to block.
Figure it was the medic alert people again, not sure.
They have been calling about everyday for the last month,3-4 times.
AND always @ dinner time! I never get up to answer while I'm eating...
I would like just to ask them if they ever sold anything.......but not worth the hassle.
Have a nice day and keep reporting the numbers.....
