Call came at 4:13 PM today, 12/17/13. Did not bother to answer, and no message left. Caller ID SENIORCW. Do Not Call list obviously is useless lately. I have received on average 3 calls every day or the last six months from a variety of numbers, including a very odd one of 215-187-9809. PA law requires that telemarketers identify themselves on the caller ID, but there must not be any teeth in this act. I looked into call blocking, but the illegits of the trade can get around it by simply having more than one extension. Any suggestions much appreciated.
"Get use to these types of calls. You will receive many many many more. From fake various numbers across the country. The scams include lower your interest rate, senior citizen asissitance, medical alert device, home security, fix your computer and many others. If it is an automated, weird caller ID and if you have to press a button, not only is it illegal, it is also criminal and a scam. Know the signs, they are all the same."
GREAT TIPS. You can also add this number to your contacts and fix it so it doesn't ring when they call.
Wouldn't it be nice if the NSA took these calls as seriously as they do spying on INNOCENT AMERICANS????
