If you're convicted of running one of these schemes you should be fast tracked to the chair

It's time society brings the hammer down on these lowlifes.

This should be at the top of Trump's to-do list.

The telecommunications companies share some burden in allowing this to happen to their customers.

My father has dementia but amazingly members his social security number.


EVERY time they call him he regrets saying it but gives it to them anyway.


I took his phone away but now I cannot call him.

Somehow, I got on their list too and I refuse to answer a call from anyone on my contact list. No one ever leaves me a message though.

I'm also on an email list, getting a half dozen per day, all from different email addresses. Forget "unsubscribe" because it just lets them know you're reading their crap. I send it to my "Spam" folder but it hasn't slowed down.

But Mr. Fat Sexy, you’ve been pre-approved for a sizeable loan!
Or your relative is in jail and he’ll put his lawyer on the phone so you can bail him out by wiring money.
Death penalty is too kind for these people.
I get up to a dozen a day during the week.

You can block calls from people not in his contacts.

Yes you can but, at least on iphone, it still shows a missed/blocked/silenced call and they can leave messages
eta: blocking is hardly effective these days since they use literally 100’s of Thousands of spoofed numbers. My block list is close to a thousand just since July when the calls started

I used to get 20 a day. I set my phone to block all spam. Now it's only a couple a week

Block unknown numbers from ringing at all. Android and iOS can both do it.

There are several apps/programs that are proactive in removing your information from the internet and data sharing platforms.

One of them (I believe it was through my Nord VPN) I think I paid maybe $30 for the year. Between that and YouMail, I can’t tell you the last time I got a spam call.

I agree 1000%. These people behind all the phone and internet mischief should get worse than death. Drop them off on islands inhabited by venomous reptiles and let them suffer for a while before death.

I would invest in an AI app that would pick up these calls and frick with these people just to waste their time and piss them off.

Honestly is there an app? I dont answer my phone anymore unless its a local area code or a number I know and I am freaking lawyer. Its just easier to call anyone legitimate right back since I am
getting 3 to 5 spam calls per legimate call per day. And I am on every no call list you can sign up for

Add identity thieves also. Those are the lowest of the low scumbag frickers.

We used to hang people for steeling a cow or horse, hell even cutting a fence and now these people are let go.

It's just easier to write off the bank loss..... bullchit. Hang their asses.

A few weeks ago my work email was put out and I got signed up to over a hundred bullshite websites in about 10 minutes. They should send in a team and just double tap everyone of these scumbags.

If Trump solved this, he would be on Mt Rushmore.

Seems like an easy win.
