“I let them know in no uncertain terms that they are thieves and that I will report them.”
Even if you do, the numbers are spoofed and they don’t care and the FCC really doesn’t care either. Ever hear of a telemarketing company being prosecuting?
“(I don’t but perhaps it takes me off their lists)”
Not really. Answering verifies your number IS live and a person answers. . .and they sell your number to another telemarketing company and the cycle continues.
I turned off my answering machine, turned off the ringer and after a couple of weeks the number of telemarketing calls has fallen off to almost nothing because the computer only hears a phone ring and ring and ring (with no answer) meaning the number is un-monitored or non-working or incorrect.
Was at the daughters yesterday. never answer unless its her calling to check on Children. I do always look at caller ID,Yesterday was I ever shocked, name was Jesus Christ . Well I was sure if He needed Me He would not need to use the Phone.It was quite a shock though. Trash out there.
