This is a robocall. The computer program behind it doesn't know who you are, it just dials every possible phone number in sequence every day, day in day out. And then it starts over. That's why we keep getting the same message from the same scammers. It doesn't matter if your phone is unlisted or if you are on the Do Not Call list. You are wasting your breath when you ask to have your name taken off of their 'list.' They don't have a list. All they want is your credit card information so they can run up a large charge that your bank will have to eat. The crooks are probably overseas. They use another computer program to generate new phone numbers to hide their true identity. I call them telemarketers because this site doesn't provide a good title for them.
All you can do is grit your teeth and bear it. Let your answering machine answer for you. Nobody is enforcing this because our elected officials won't adequately fund the appropriate agencies. That's what smaller government means, folks. It means you are are on your own.
Lets stop moaning and take the matters in our hand. Don't tell others what to do. Do it yourself.
1- Answer calls. Make their life miserable. Don't be tamed with your need to be perceived as the good one. Use the swearing words you hate. Tell the individual she/he must have been raped, abused brutally in their past that they like to abuse people. I'm sure that will strike a truth
2- Call your telephone company give the number and complain that they are abusing you.
3- Call your local police number and report that you have told your telephone company and you like to file a report against this number. They may not show much reaction but when enough people call and they hear it long enough, they will start talking about it.
4-Call your congress person. Call them so often and tell them they are promoting abuse if they don't stop this. We also will act to give them a taste of those unneeded calls.
DON'T TALK - DO
