Some of the most disreputable companies ignore the do not call list. There is new help, though. There is a web site that helps identify the origin of the calls, so that you can make a complaint. I think that it is called, Who’s calling me. If you google the phone number that appears on your caller ID, it usually comes up in the top few listings. People post the numbers and any information that they have found about the callers. It’s cool, I’ve gotten rid of two pests, that way. I called them back and told them that it was illegal to keep calling me and the state attorney general’s office told me that I could get $500 per call and triple damages if they continued to call me after I notified them. They immediately changed their answer and assured me that the calls would be stopped.
We get lots of calls that come up on our caller ID as “out of area” with no number listed. I cannot even use my call blocker to block the last call received. It appears that there is no record of the incoming number and my telephone service is unable to help me. Any suggestions?
I've gotten calls from "spoof numbers - numbers that show up on caller ID, but that don't exist. Congress obviously needs to ban that as part of this bill.
