I let my caller ID “screen” my calls. And before caller ID, it was my answering machine. Remember those days?””

I have only a land line. I have a 40+ year old “Princess phone” on a 25 foot cord. It does not have caller ID. It does not take pictures. I cannot block a call. I just hang up.

I cannot scan. Computer is over 28 years old & computer operator is 50 years older than the computer. I use my Fax machine enough to never wish to be without it. Am not going to ‘upgrade all my electronics at ANY price.

Every time you answer, even if you hand up after hearing the robo voice, your number is saved and sold as a number that is active so they’ll continue to call and call and call and send it to other scammers to call some more. Caller ID and the ability to block numbers will stop the vast majority of those calls.
