Want to stop repeated telescam phone calls?
Try these alternatives:
1. Do not answer the phone if you see an unknown number on your Caller ID ... let it go to answering machine or voicemail. Many telescammers hang up after 3 rings.
2. If you have a smartphone, get one of the inexpensive or free phone blocker apps at your online app store, and learn how to use it.
3. If your cel is not "smart", read the manual to learn how to set up a "group". Assign the scammer's phone number to that group. Also assign a "silent ring" to that group. You will not hear future calls from that number.
4. Google NoMoRobo, and visit their site, to see if your phone system is compatible with that system. (It may or may not be compatible).
5. Contact your phone service provider. They may have a facility or method to allow you to block numbers.
6. If you buy things online, you might want to google "Amazon phone blocker" to see what devices or apps Amazon has to offer for landlines or smartphones. Similar devices are for sale on eBay and other online stores.

Just received a call from Auto Warranty from (408)618-5129-regarding a vehicle I haven't owned in over 5 years. I asked her how she got my name and information as I hadn't owned this vehicle for years, she said are you calling me a liar and hung up. This is the same company who called my brother who sustained a brain injury in a roll over car accident and told him he didn't have coverage on the vehicle he just purchased-all worried he ended up calling my 90 year old mother who gave out her credit card number to cover the cost as they indicated they were from the "car dealer"-or they gave the impression they were. I called & spoke to someone and got it cancelled but what a scam company!
It is an automated telemarketer that switches to a live operator (residing who knows where) for extended warranties on cars. I have talked with them and told them I'm not interested, but they keep calling.
