You said it yourself - they're scum bags. The DNC does work, with legitimate companies, but it's not a call blocker so it can't keep scam artists from calling you. Only you can do that. Invest in a real call blocker or at the very least, don't answer calls from numbers you don't recognize.
Missed this call this morning, called the number back, got a recording about matching students to courses for college degrees blah blah blah. Press 1 to speak with a "specialist" press 2 to be removed from the calling list. Sounds more to me like a phishing call or scammer.
They called my business. No one uses that number for sign-ups, so they are cold calling from a purchased phone number list from a phone company I'm assuming.
Called my cell phone twice today 9 am and 12 pm. No one has my cell number so i never answer nor do i have voice mail. I never answer if the face of one of my family members shows on the call. No idea how they got my number and i hope they don't keep calling since i won't answer and it is an annoyance! Thanks to all have let me know who these creeps are that keep calling.
These scum bags keep calling my cell phone from different numbers, but based on all of your input it is the same scum bags. No one has my cell phone number so I am even more upset that they keep calling twice a day from different numbers in hopes I will answer, but since only family members have my number I never answer other calls. Wish these bags could be stopped!!
