In the bad ole analog switch days, one could not spoof numbers or send phony numbers and much but not all could be blocked. Today with voip and traffic over the web, the world is wide open to the creeps and cruds. No one is validating the numbers, the underlying ip address sending the crap, nor the called id that has become useless.
We are cursed to be plagued into hades with this mess. Frankly, we should get the originating ip address shown/displayed for immediate action against THEM.
so far, the only real answer against this mess is using a local call blocker and your own answering machine to stop/trap this garbage.
As well intended as do not call lists are they are utterly ineffectual against this crap. I have had to have a computer based call blocker on my home phone for the last 3 years while I was getting 5 to 10 phony calls a day to my home phone.
Yes, I want the [***] grabbed, skinned and strung up immediately.
