You have misunderstood what Sparkey said. Sparkey did not "press 1 to be removed" from a call list. Sparkey heard that message, then hung up, and used the block caller feature on his/her smartphone to prevent calls from this number in the future. You are a bit correct in that these scammers are relentless. Also, the numbers you see on your CID are spoofed (not the real number they are calling from). If the scammers are blocked from one number, they will simply call back from another spoofed number sometime in the future. The real problem is that our telephone companies aren't rolling out technologies to stop these sorts of calls and/or to trace these calls to their source.
They keep calling telling me there is something wrong with my computer! They are a scam! Do not let them onto your computer! If you have any questions about your computer go to a trusted business that fixes computers!
