Seriously, Why the fuck has someone not developed a solid way to block these calls? It is ridiculous. Does this type of marketing actually work? I have tried Robokiller, ATT Call Protect. Nothing works! They hit my cell phone, my business phone, every phone!

Can we all put our heads together and develop a plan to hunt these clowns down! I mean, someone in the Govt has to be getting a kick back for this. Who actually buys this shit over the phone?!

Rant Over!!

Your number not in my contacts - voicemail you go. You leave no VM then I ignore. I review my incoming logs monthly - call more then 10 times without leaving message you land in the block caller listing.

Home phone was finally unplugged - I get internet VM on that one and now no random callers :)

What I think is awful is the amount of numbers are being blocked. Already running out of numbers and people are blocking them forever by the tens of thousands every day.

I don't answer my phone unless it's a number in my contacts or one I recognize. With local area code and exchange spoofing, the calls are made to look like they're originating in your immediate area, and it's just a waste of time to guess if they're legitimate.

I don't answer calls unless in my contacts. That seams to slow them down.

When we bought our house a year ago we got a home warranty for a year. That ended last October and they have been calling multiple times a day since then. DON'T EVER USE Choice home warranty.

I was getting them all the time. Finally decided to listen to the entire message and guess what?? At the end of the message it offers an option to opt out of future calls by pressing a designated number. I did this to about 8 different robocalls calls and the calls have virtually all been stopped.
Just my experience.

I have opted out countless times. I get the auto warranty and Google business listing one still. Every now and then get the cold calling local contractor that wants to know if you need any work done to the house. I ask with every Contractor I know being slammed why are you not? Why don't you have plenty of referral work if you are a good reputable company. That passes them off then I ask why would you call another Contractor soliciting work?

I've received a call from myself once, no joke. My cellphone starts ringing and I look at the number and it's my number calling me so I answered it "Hi me", the guy was confused and I hung up.

I’ve always been afraid that it was some kind of trick. I never answer but might give it a try.

I screen all of my calls. They stop calling when you never answer.


Hasn't worked for me, Calls are Non Stop. The AHoles, are now using a Local # so you worry about missing a call if you don't answer .:(

So you're still answering then? LoL

Stop answering ANY call if you don't Know who it is. If it's important, they will leave a message.

But now that you've Verified (by answering) your number, they have sold your number to every scammer on the planet.

So basically, you're now fucked. πŸ˜”
