Modern technology has given telescammers the tools to call you.
Since those telescammers are criminals, they ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The first thing to do is to get a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information, or visit your favorite sales site.

If you cannot afford or use such a tool, then:
* Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
* Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers! All that does is verify your phone number! And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.
* If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scammers" (or similar). Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group.
Somthing about seniors falling WTF no one in our home is not even close to that age. Do you think I would even consider doing business with a scumbug recording. WTF.
Got robocall from 714-607-6434 caller ID said "S T" on Monday 07-01-14 @ 156 PM
Message starts out very loud "Don't Hangup".......seniors over 65.........we will give you a free home monitoring
device....blah blah....press 1.
So pressed 1 and another dang recording came on starting to explain how long they have been in business.......blah blah.
At that point I just hung up.
A SCAM recording to explain another SCAM recording UNBELIEVABLE !!!
ST must stand for "Senior Thievery" because they are in the business of attempting to do just that. Five different numbers, in the last month (less than) with various senior scams which really is the lowest of the low. I ignored the call that I received from this number on 6/28/14 at 6:30PM (dinner hour, of course), as I ignore all calls I don't recognize. That's all you can do. They count on people in the beginning stages of dementia to answer the phone and fall for their schemes. Call blockers don't usually work for these victims, as they're far to complicated to operate and not exactly cheap. These people will hopefully burn in hell, for their crimes!
