As the FTC cays .. "What's the Reason for the Spike in Robocalls?
Technology is the answer. Companies are using autodialers that can send out thousands of phone calls every minute for an incredibly low cost. The companies that use this technology don't bother to screen for numbers on the national Do Not Call Registry. If a company doesn't care about obeying the law, you can be sure they're trying to scam you."
So your, your families and friends phones aren't being hacked .. they are being called because they are the next in line to be called. Too bad we just have ill concerned politicians - who are likely getting some quid pro quo from these cretins in the form of re-election donations - who don't seem to care to pass any laws to really stamp these - dare I say harassing?!? - calls out. They are all jerks in my opinion - the pols and the cretin robo-caller companies.
