I am being hit by a lot of unknown numbers today. *ugh* Add this to the list of currently active annoying calls. I did not answer, but did run in from the kitchen to see if it was someone I actually knew. Now, back to my regularly scheduled life...
Was a computer AI, claimed to be with GE security systems. Giving away free alarms. It is a scam. I kept saying silly stuff to each question that the AI asked, and I finally got it hung in a loop. I did this for a good 5 minutes having fun with their computer AI. Caller ID said l7 srvc call.
Telemarketer; Robo Caller. I have the Phonetray system running, and they are now forever more blocked/blacklisted. Federal Do Not Call list/process DOES NOT WORK. Quit wasting your time reporting callers to them.
I agree with part of what you said, but not all of it.
I believe, as you do, that it's a waste of time to report these calls to the Do Not Call Registry, but only because the calls are untraceable, mostly using fake numbers for lines that don't exist. These are illegitimate callers, crooks, criminals, mostly operating from overseas where the DNCR has no jurisdiction.
Where I disagree is when you say the DNCR doesn't work. If you weren't registered with it, you would also be getting calls from legitimate businesses trying to sell you goods or services. Legally.
