My wife and me are so tired of these calls, they come from different area codes, so you have no idea that it's the same people. They appear to be from foreign-born people because you can hardly understand them, and at our age 86 and 87 years old we don't need this harassment day after day, two and three times a day. WHY report it, they say they can't do anything about it. Some times they don't even speak, just hang up as soon as we answer.
Caller ID shows me that it is a telemarketer, so I don't answer. The annoying part of it is that I still have to get to the phone, which is physically difficult.
To fight these scum you have to take action yourself.....the do not call list is a joke (the FCC and congress have proven to be lapdogs for big business telemarketers and is now moving to give them and big media priority fast lane access to the internet.....the FCC chairman is (surprise) a former telecom lobbyist. If you do not have a call blocking feature (or run out of space), do yourself a favor and get a call blocker, and just plug it in to your phone line.....it will be the best money you ever spent.....lots of them out there, check Amazon,Google and Fleabay. I got a device called Pro Call Blocker last year and it only costs around $50. It stores up to 1500 or so numbers and uses caller ID. When a spam call comes in, all you have to do is hit the blacklist button and presto, no more calls from this number (you can also manually enter numbers to block, entire area codes or all out of area numbers). It logs all calls in or out. If you get this one, be sure to get the latest version (last I looked it was 2.2). There is also another similar device called T-lock blocker which looks similar and came out late last year. Phone line is pretty quiet now as there are no repeat calls (although a lot of these spammers have multiple numbers so you have to block each one as they come in). Lots and lots of others out there, so get a device and post back a review of its effectiveness to the rest of the anti-spam community here and other sites. Sure is nice to have a quiet phone line for a change!
I answered this call twice. They want to be your home delivery prescription company. The first time I hung up when he asked for my email address. The second time I told him that I have a home delivery prescription company and hung up. This is a telemarketing operation, I could hear the more callers in the background.
