It’s 8:50am and I’ve already received 4 telemarking calls...

Is there a ‘do not call list’ that actually works? All of these have been robocalls so there is no way to bitch someone out. One came at 3:50am and woke my whole family up.

I get them on my cell and my work phone all damn day. At this point I'd say that I probably answer 5% of the calls I get.

It's not going to stop until phone providers block the ability to spoof numbers. Email providers did this a long time ago. It would be easy for phone companies to do the same.

How did it wake your whole family up, was it a call to your landline?

Hello, BabyTac, and thank you for your inquiry! Please, give us thirty eight minutes to look up the answer to your question. While you wait, would you be interested in purchasing some expired bagel bites? Only 2 dollars per pound!

Disconnect the call (kill it, not ignore or send to voicemail). Do this a few times and the computer on the other end will mark your number off.

Problem is they have lobbyist preventing the blocking of spoof numbers.
So basically...we fricked. I'm in sales to. I have to answer every call I get assuming it's a customer. It is infuriating how often I get these fricking calls.

I've resorted to never answering a call from someone I don't know. Don't do it on my personal phone, and don't do it on my work phone (probably dumb). My house phone stays unplugged, but I keep it connected b/c Cox gives me a combo deal.
As long as politicians employ robocalling companies, it's not gonna change. What I'm saying is there's zero chance it ever changes

That list is basically Santa Clause. Some folks get a little piece of mind by reporting violators, but our law enforcement is impotent regarding overseas robocalls.
I much preferred the old late 20th century land-line setup: the connection was crystal clear and Caller-ID worked. The current setup is garbage.

I called the Attorney General and sent emails with all the information. AG called me back. Almost crapped my pants I was so shocked.
Anyway, I was told that the level of sophistication in hiding the origin of the caller makes it nearly impossible for the AG to find and prosecute.

I had about two months where ASME called me 2-4x a day, and wouldn't stop after asking. Blocked their number, but it still showed up as a blocked call. I told them it was harassment, and I was gonna call the cops, and they magically stopped.
No idea how an organization thinks they can get people to renew membership by incessantly pestering them at all hours of the day

I thought I was the only one who did this. My mom points it out every time they visit. Some boomers can’t understand life without a landline.

You know there's a Do Not Disturb option on your cell phone right?
Just leave it on 24/7
