You are paying in your telephone bill for caller ID, and the phone company charges the callers to block their phone numbers.
So what the hell is the use?
Eugene, Oregon, on the caller ID 458-201-243, I get this call two three times a day, since I filed Bankruptcy my attorney said that they have tried to contact them they either do not answer or they refuse to tell him why they are contacting me.
They call me on a daily basis offering $3000.00 for this medical alert device. I finally listened to the entire recording and waited for a live person. Jason from this place hung up on me.
This spoofed number was successfully blocked by NOMOROBO. I have had this service since January and it has only missed about 3 robocalls. I did determine that they were from spoofed numbers, but when several of these same scammers called again a day or two later, they got blocked. Goes to show that the NOMOROBO algorithm that detects numbers generating a high rate of calls is going to get into the NOMOROBO database and be blocked by those using this service. I suspect that the more people using NOMOROBO will only cause the number spoofers to only be successful for an even shorter period of time (Hours?). I also use a blocker to nail the "OUT OF AREA" and "UNAVAILABLE" scammers. I think I have found the ideal suite of countermeasures to use against these SCUMBAGS. A note of reassurance - NOMOROBO does not block calls from doctors, pharmacies, schools, or local emergency alert systems that make a large amount of calls and in many cases, blocked caller ID information. I have tested this myself and have not had an issue yet.
