I have a cell phone and a landline (which I NEVER USE and have the ringtone turned off). Whenever anyone requests my phone number, I give out my landline. I also say I don't have a cell phone. I NEVER give out my cell except to family or friends. It has cut down on almost ALL scam calls
I have received calls from this number, (on my cell phone, which is on the Do Not Call registry) on 5/18/17 at 7:04 pm and on 5/19/17 at 12:37 pm, 12:57 pm, 1:20 pm and 2:59 pm. I did not answer the calls. I finally did call the number back and it is about interest rates and lowering mortgage payments. Told them I don't have a mortgage and to remove my number. I added the number to my auto reject call list. Today, 5/20/17, I see there were 2 calls at 1:36 pm & 3:39 pm......so far!
The Do Not Call list law is a list of phone numbers where the owner does not want telemarketing calls and a law against telemarketing to those numbers. For a scammer it is one more law to break.
