A call from this Anaheim VOIP number arrived today. When the call rolled to voice mail, the caller left no message, just dead space. This is typical of robocallers (illegal telemarketers) who use automated dialers to place calls in a desperate, relentless search for gullible victims. The posters on this page are not gullible and have chosen not to become victims of spammers and/or scammers.
According to www.whitepages.com this number is described as "suspected spam." I'm soooooooooo surprised!
Finally a way to fight back! I get multiple calls a day from various spammers disguising themselves as telemarketers. I'm on the DNC-it doesn't work with criminals, just as gun control and speeding laws don't stop curmudgeons. Enough complaints have been made about these pests that finally legislation is being introduced in DC. Normally I don't like big gov't but this is one exception.
Please check the following websites and encourage your senators and representatives to support this legislation and chase these offending culprits back under their rock!
Senator Chuck Schumer has introduced the Robocop Act that will require phone companies to provide consumers with blocking technology.
