I have started blocking any numbers I don’t know.

The robo calls use your area code and exchange then 4 random numbers. No way to block that. The random numbers are new every call.

I implemented a “white list” for my email.
All email not from an address in my contacts list goes to the spam folder.
I wish I could do this for the phone.

If I don’t know the number, I don’t answer. You’d think after a while they’d give up but they don’t.

Fun, isn’t it? I do that too.

Call it antisocial, but if your NAME doesn’t show up, I don’t pick up. If you don’t leave a message, I don’t call back.

Telemarketers can GFTS. If you’re SELLING, I’m not buying. If I’m BUYING, I might call you.

No apologies.

PS: and on the rare occasions I DO pick up the phone, the first word I say is “NO” in case this is some kind of scam to put my voice in your ‘puter as consent for whatever.

I have 2 call screeners on my phone. Mr Number and Call Protect from ATT. They catch almost everything and the ones that Call Protect catch as fraud or scam it doesn’t even let them come through.
Anything that actually makes it through and isn’t flagged my phone announces ‘unknown caller’ so I don’t even have to look at it. And then I manually block them. Lol
