I am reluctant to press a number as I do not want to seem to be calling them. I do not have caller ID so how can I stop these unwanted solicitations?

Two things.

1. I press the number - when they come on, if you ask what the name of the company is - they often hang up. If not, note the time, day and number...inform them "I am on the DO NOt Call list - you are calling illegally - do not call again."

Usually, you will get hung up on before you finish.

They will probably call back in a few weeks- this time tell them. "I am now going to report you and put in for my $500 fine from your company."

Again, they will hang up quickly and you are unlikely to ever hear from them again.

Most of the time, there will be no number showing - but if there is a number, you can find out who they are by going to the web site:

You can them report them to your state attorney generals office -

Thanks, very helpful advise. That is what I will do.

I seem to be getting a lot of these calls lately, robo calls, which we never got before.

Thanks again.
