Do you REALLY think the DNC list can block calls from India?
Please re-read the info at the DNC site. Learn what it really does (and does not) do!
Want to stop repeated telescam phone calls?
Try these alternatives:
1. Do not answer the phone if you see an unknown number on your Caller ID ... let it go to answering machine or voicemail. Many telescammers hang up after 3 rings.
2. If you have a smartphone, get one of the inexpensive or free phone blocker apps at your online app store, and learn how to use it.
3. If your cel is not "smart", read the manual to learn how to set up a "group". Assign the scammer's phone number to that group. Also assign a "silent ring" to that group. You will not hear future calls from that number.
4. Google NoMoRobo, and visit their site, to see if your phone system is compatible with that system. (It may or may not be compatible).
5. Contact your phone service provider. They may have a facility or method to allow you to block numbers.
6. If you buy things online, you might want to google "Amazon phone blocker" to see what devices or apps Amazon has to offer for landlines or smartphones. Similar devices are for sale on eBay and other online stores.

The recording said "the government is releasing money for mortgages. If you are a home owner, press 1. All of our reps are helping other customers so leave your name & number & someone will call you back as soon as possible." I left a message that just said "I would like for you to take this number off your list & not call here again as I have no mortgage & dont need to talk to you ever again." Will see if they call back.
I do not want sales people calling me and I CERTAINLY do not want sales calls AFTER 9 PM. This number called after 9 PM and woke me up. They are Metro PCS. I have their cell phone but they were calling on my land line?? If they are reading this......DO NOT CALL ANYONE WITH YOUR SALES PITCH AFTER 9PM!!!!!
