If you can tack on legislation to include the same treatment of people that pull into an intersection, even though it is quite obvious that the traffic in front of them is not going to move when their light turns red, and they will be blocking traffic, then I would certainly tell my congressperson to hear you out.

Set phone to either do not disturb or priority calls only.

It will cut the BS calls by 99.6%

In theory, I wouldn't support the government wasting time on an issue like this, but this is what I have a problem with. On any given day there might be 2 random hours during the day, in which I will give 3, 4..5 calls that are all telemarketers. I just let it go to my VM and block the number, but when I look at my VMs, it will be the same exact VM from 3 or 4 different numbers.

I assume they are all scams and if so, the reason they continue to call people, is because there are enough people who buy into it that it's worth them doing it. Their approach is "unethical" to a certain degree so in this case, yes.

Stock Android is pretty good at identifying spam calls and lights the entire screen up red when it rings. I think this is only on the Pixel phones. It works well except for the number spoofing local calls.

Mississippi has “do not call” lists for both land lines as well as cell that you can sign up for. They aren’t fool proof. But they actually work pretty well...

I told one to stop fricking calling me. Then got 2-3 calls from private number.

Too lazy to even troll me right

I used to troll them by feigning interest and wasting their time. I figured it served as both revenge and running interference to keep them from scamming real victims.

But now I just get hangup calls. Those make me even angrier.

I do think they, and the people that sold them the list, will burn in hell.

I just think about what empty lives they must have. What group of people in this country is hated more than telemarketers? Used car salesmen? Lawyers?
