I hate spineless robo calls. I don't care if they are from the "government" or some "business."
If they haven't enough spine to have a human make the call and be told by whom ever answers the phone to"Bugger Off!" Then they are doing nothing but telephone harassment.
I have a suggestion.
I don’t know if it is permitted to recommend an item that can be purchased so I will only give the info to anyone who emails me, if that is OK.
There are gadgets out there that will block calls. It can block “private”, “unknown” or any specific callers.
When a robo call comes in, your phone doesn’t ring. The robo hears a click only and the machine thinks this is a bad number, so after 3 or so calls, the robo deletes your number.... Time is money and if they waste 5,10,15 or more seconds, that reduces the number of calls they can make in a day, so they just quit calling.
There are customized settings and it works just great. The gadget does keep a record of all calls it blocked so you can look to make sure that that you didn’t block someone you wanted to talk to and un-block them if you like.
Costs about $100 including S&H.
This is why I have caller ID, if the number is not one I recognize,, no answer.... NO answering machine either..
