I would not be opposed to them getting the death penalty.

Cold callers and spam callers should be executed without a trial.

I received over 20 spam calls every day this week.

Consumes my day answering calls from 225 numbers and it’s a god damn spammer.

If Adolf Hitler or Jeffrey Dahmer ran a campaign on ending spam calls, I’d vote for him.

100%

I had a client, 65 year old newly retired nurse, who received a call from the FBI. They told her someone was trying to hack her IRA. That she needed to transfer it to their special bank account while they competed their investigation. Minutes later she had liquidated $600,000, her entire life savings.

All the hopes and dreams she has from working 40+ years gone. There was nothing the real FBI could do. She willingly transferred the money to some account in Africa.

Flaying these people on live TV would be too good for them.

I have no idea why Trump has not made this an issue with India. It's worse than Fentanyl in my opinion. Or at least on the same level.

If you consider the hundreds of millions of people that they purposely inflict a small amount of misery on and aggregate that into one crime, it’d be like a small-scale terrorist attack.

Firing squad or hanging is the only fitting punishment.

I’m half kidding but also half serious.

Same here. I downloaded the AT&T Active Armor app a while back. It blocks probably 95% of the spam calls. It blocked 23 calls Friday for me.

How about life in one of Obama's FEMA camps? They should also hope someone loves them enough to bring them some food.
and provide them with medical care when they become ill.

So, what's stopping you from NOT answering the phone when that area code pops up???? There's no rule that says you must answer the phone.

I make it a point to only answer my phone if the number pops up with a name from my designated list of callers. If it's a number I don't know, no matter what area code, I let it go to voice mail or they text a message.

I'll open texts and will know right away if it's vital and if not, it disappears in a stroke.

It's presumably his hometown area code... never know when the kids school is calling, a business, the doctors office, etc... local calls are a little harder to ignore.

In a truly just world, there would be a scorched trail of destruction and bodies of the guilty leading to this lady having her money back.

Thats the super hero this world really needs.

One day they'll implant a chip in our brain for internet and phone calls. Won't need a cell phone. And then we'll be bombarded with spam calls and ads directly to our brains

If it was done to the government tomahawks would be in flight and delta force would be kicking down doors.

When it happens to the people the government is supposed to be by and for, crickets
