Again people, the DNC is operating perfectly. It isn't possible for it to protect you from criminals and scammers because they are not going to abide by it.
There isn't a database or something where your number gets dropped into and then magically no one that you don't know can't call you. That's asinine. I understand the problem with the calls, I'm getting a ton as well, but it's really simple. Don't answer and block the numbers. Stop acting like this is such a massive inconvenience lol. You reject the call and block it or just don't answer, either way it's done in seconds.
