I like to answer when it is a political poll. I enjoy answering their questions randomly, sometimes opposite of what I would normally say. If everyone would do this it would render their polls useless. My call blocking has been full for a while. I will have to erase some to make room for more or check around to see if there is one which will store more than 30 numbers.
Modern technology has given telescammers the tools to call you.
Since those telescammers are criminals, they ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The first thing to do is buy a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information.
If you cannot afford or use such a tool, then:
* Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
* Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers! All that does is verify your phone number! And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.
