Folks,
Our phone services (and especially our land lines) are under assault by a new breed of invasive, nuisance phone calls being spawned by a new kind of marketeer who doesn't give a damn about us or our privacy.
If the phone companies and carriers won't do anything to stop this, our only choice will be to get our phone services some other way.

they never stop...the registry is a joke...i think they sell the registry numbers back to these outfits...you can't get rid of them...just like trying to shake snot off your finger...i am not big on government b.s. but there should be a way to make these [***] pay every time they call you uninvited and especially after you've said leave me alone AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES!!!!!
An unidentified call about credit card debt, with a different recording than the ones I usually hear.
When I told the guy I am on the Federal DO NOT CALL list, he accused ME of violating the terms of the DO NOT CALL registry, and abruptly hung up on me.
They ignore the Do Not Call list because they are scammers.
Understand, also, that the number displayed on your Caller ID is most likely not the number from which they are calling.
Everything about a phone number can be spoofed or faked: area code, exchange, and the four-digit line number.
Most individuals who call back to the displayed number receive a "Number not in service" message.
These calls are disturbing me and the folks who come to confide or receiving ministering to via either the phone or one on one. These scammers are using a processing of "bouncing signals" to show it moving from say, TN but in fact could be elsewhere.
