The usual - 5 rings and gone before the voice mail picks up. I don't answer unidentified calls, like most of you don't. However some of you ask an interesting question; "Why can't the phone company do something to stop these calls?"
As some of you are, I'm sure, aware UPS drops some packages at the local Post Office for final delivery, thereby freeing up their trucks to handle larger or multiple commercial packages and the deliveries that are closer together. UPS pays USPS a fee for this service which is referred to as "the last mile". Almost all of the scam calls originate on VOIP networks overseas. These calls have to get off the internet and on to our landline and cell phone networks. I wonder if the VOIP networks pay the local landline telephone companies a fee for "the last mile"? If so, we now know why they won't do anything about it. Judging by call volume they're making TONS of money delivering these scam calls to our phones. Just a thought.
Once you put yourself on the "do not call" list it doesn't last forever... I think it is only for 6 months.. stupid but true...
Secondly,. when HE got elected this spamming didn't just start... it has been going on forever.....
Just received a call from these idiots. I don't answer when it says "Private Caller" but one cannot BLOCK these calls either (which I would do) because there is NO number..... They seem to think they are getting away with something but then if I don't answer they gain nothing. Glad I have caller ID. the problem is that it must be lucrative to these fools or they would not keep trying.
