Thank you for adding those, Bob. I just added all of them to my call block list. I have 92 entries on that list. 92 different numbers, many of which are faked caller ID numbers. That is ridiculous! Supposed political surveyors, people wanting me to answer a few questions to win a cruise, people selling home security systems, scam pharmacies- you name the scam and we get called by it. Do I even need to mention we are on the do not call list?!? We are. But if a scam is willing to ignore other laws why would they abide by the do not call list and no 'robo-calling' rules? If anyone does contact an attorney count me in!
using their own do-not-call option from the site, it has been ten days without any calls from this politico pest. if you would like to have them stop calling, you might try it - your results may vary....
I went to an Internet phone that allows me to block calls (right now, I have over 100 phone numbers blocked). I'm using Ooma (available at Costco for about $180) plus $119/yr (and $4.25/mo taxes) for two lines (includes porting of 1-number with additional # porting costing about $39). You can make it so that the block calls get a busy signal, go to voice mail (with a .wav file sent to your email), or just get a steady ring (I opt for the last one).
On Blackberry phones, when unwanted calls come in, just ADD them to your contact list, then turn the right and SMS functions to zeros (i.e. no ring, no vibrate, no LED, etc). You may notice them call again, but you'll never be ending another call to take one of their's again. I label each with with a name followed by "Spammer" so I know they're not important. I do get several calls each week, but I don't let them get the best of me.
My number is on the Do Not Call Registry, but I keep getting calls my cell from this number and others. They never leave a message and there's no name displayed on the caller ID. I have reported them. I never answer them, but it's annoying.
