The new thing for me is to get a call from the same number 5 or 6 times in a row

I’m so close to setting my phone to only allow calls in from people from my address book.

If I ever run for political office, one of my major platforms will be the finding and (severely) punishing of telemarketers and scammers (usually on in the same).

Automatic felony if you use a robo dialer or blocked/spoof numbers. I get dozens of calls per week that appear to be a local cell number, that are robo dialed spam calls.

10 year minimum sentence for the owner/organizer, 2 years minimum sentence for the caller/operator. Plus LARGE fines that will be distributed to each person they called by the number of calls received.

Mine exclusively clone my area code. I was pleasantly surprised to see an 800 number the other day.

Every time I get one of the “your auto warranty is about to expire” I tell them I drive an Isuzu Impulse and they immediately hang up.

I have to admit I kind of go sarcasticwonka.jpg every time I get one. I even get the expression.“Let’s see, would that be the warranty on the 33 year old Benz with a half million miles or the 57 year old Ford with 110k?”

I've started responding in French. So far, they've either hung up, or one bold soul said "no hablo Espanol".

Our numbers are one digit apart, so my wife gets a robocall, and a few seconds later, I get it too. I wish there was some way to spike these calls back through the phone lines and short out their machines.

I’m guessing the polling related to that is pretty much over now.

The calls to my phone have decreased significantly since I started pressing the button to speak to an agent and telling them that they are calling a business phone. My cell phone is my work phone, so I’m not lying.

I know it’s like pissing in the ocean, but I block the number every time I get a robocall. I’d like to think that it may have eliminated at least a few of them. The new thing now is “Suspected Spam” show up but there’s no number info to block.

Seriously, I have my phone set up to block everything not  in my contacts but clearing a dozen missed calls a day sucks.

I did this and it’s been a godsend. if it’s an unrecognized number and they actually are someone who needs to speak to me, they can leave a VM.

edit: the iPhone doesn’t “block” unrecognized numbers, it just doesn’t audibly ring.  .

There was supposed to be a new law to help stop robocalls but it was just vague and toothless enough that it might take some time to actually decrease the number of robocalls.

As a person that used to run a robocaller you are pissing in the ocean. I would have a choice of almost 100k numbers to call you from and if the call goes straight to voicemail my machine would change the outgoing caller ID and call right back just to be sure.

Sammyno55 > TheRealBicycleBuck 01/27/2020 at 15:57

I'm in the same situation. I have 1 phone. I answer it with the standard business greeting. If I get a sales call like that, press number to speak to person and explain that it is a business number.

I always ask if it covers pre-existing conditions. And then what's the deductible for a new transmission.

You can do what I do if you have an iPhone and go into settings, general, Phone and enable “Silence Unknown Callers”

Of course that will silence everyone who is unknown and just bounces them to voicemail. But all I do is just add people who I want to receive calls from to my contact list.

I think you can do something similar on Android by selecting:

Settings -> Call -> Call rejection -> Auto Reject List -> “Unknown”.

Or have some fun with it and ask about a manufacturer-backed warrant for your Studebaker Lark or some other car from a dead company .

On my phone, I just enable “silence all unknown numbers”.

I get a bunch from local numbers. As soon as I answer it hangs up. I have to answer as I use my phone for my business, soooooo, it gets old quick.

At least yours show as (800) codes! All the robocalls I get are spoofs of local cellular numbers. I sell cars so I cant ignore any calls!
