Why haven't they cracked down on this crap yet?
I heard the other week that AD Sessions is starting to look into it. Not sure what can or will be done, but at this point it's a nationally known issue. I'm sure lots of those gov folks are getting annoyed by it too as it's hard to not answer calls. So positive is gov folks getting annoyed, and not making side money from it tends to get things done. Then again Sessions is on it.....sooooo who knows what will happen.

Biggest pain in the arse ever. It isn’t as bad as it was about a year ago though where I would get multiple per day

The number of fake to real calls I get has to be 10-1 at this point. It's definitely OOC.

I never answer my phone if they aren't in my contacts.

The FCC. At least that is where the tax money goes for this.

This election cycle has been better. But, usually election related calls are terrible. I hope they figured out that if you spam call people they will vote against you.

Its really annoying when you're waiting a call and those SOBs call you. Routinely have had to drop what I'm doing and go to a quiet area to pick up the phone only to be met with the IRS or you've won a million dollars.
I've had to start using a google voice # at work so I know it filters through and the calls I need to take going to call back that # while the scammers call my 504 one.

Because they’re all from out of the country. The feds aren’t going to soend time prosecuting them and they know it.

I do this every time. Finally had a dot head tell me the scam is "to frick you over financially". I asked if people just give him their CC or financial info and he said they do.
