I got signed up on some bullcrap with my work phone and now the robo calls are relentless. I wish I knew how my number got into the mix, I figure a competitor got his grimy hands on my business card.

They call from different numbers about six to ten times a day. The robo voice says hi or hello twice then hangs up or else it's just silent.

How can I stop this harassment when I cannot identify the source?

Send me your phone number and I’ll make all those calls go away.

If iphone go to settings > phone > silence unknown callers.

Won't stop the calls but, your phone won't ring. You'll just get a notification that you have a missed call from unknown number.

Can also go to settings > phone > call blocking and identification > silence junk callers.

Quit dropping your card in those fishbowls where they are giving away free lunches

Some vendor's database got hacked or some site you have your number on.

One of the guys I used to work with got signed up for a couple of gay pride groups at his workplace because he left his computer open and someone thought it would be funny to sign him up. When he tried to unenroll he got called by the diversity cabal and nearly got in trouble for trying to unenroll. I think he ended up convincing them that he accidentally signed up and was just getting too many emails.

I haven't answered a call from a number not in my contacts since Obama's 2nd term.

Set your phone up so the caller has to press 1 on their keypad for your extension
