Put the blame where it really lay's, with the criminals and illegal telemarketers.
The DNC works just fine. It is for telemarketers only and honest business does indeed abide by it. It is the criminals (which includes illegal telemarketers), frauds and scammers that do not. However, the Fed. DNC does not cover some survey's, Political or Charities. You would need to check your states DNC laws to see if these are under your states DNC laws. The fact remains that they are not automatic call blockers though and can not protect you from the calls that are criminal, illegal or fraudulent.
Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device - they hold up to 1500 and can do whole area codes.. You can google them and many are around $60.00 or so.
The “V” number doesn't identify the scammer. It shows the date, time and some other info based on the location and time zone the call was made.
The first 3 numbers when you have a 1 digit month are the month and day
Your V number would have stated with 616.
That would be followed by the HH:MM:SS in military time (24 hr) time from the location the call was placed.
Then there are some additional numbers.
So you may have had V616104534......
There's no mystery behind the “V” number. The telemarketer just hides behind it so people who can block “Unknown, Out of State, etc” can't stop these calls.
If you see. Caller ID with the ”V“ don't bother picking up, it's SPAM.
Called our DNC registered landline on 06/26/2014 @ 04:12 PM from Peekskill, NY. Caller ID shows shows scammer hiding behind the “V” number. No message was left.
We don't answer callers we don't recognize.
You can report these spammers all you like (do not call.gov, fcc etc) BUT nothing is ever done. The more numbers I report, the more they seem to call. I have the option of blocking numbers (but only 30) so as I add numbers to the bottom of the list, I need to remove others from the top. It helps but new numbers are always calling!!!
