Judge's orders end to warranty robocalls

...said U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who added that he himself had received a robocall on his cell phone.

I hate these calls. But Schumer... What a putz, huh? One little call on his cell phone and he's squealing like a girl. I've gotten 6 to 12 of these calls EVERY SINGLE DAY for the last two years.

[BipolarBob]

Find the execs of this scam and send them to Gitmo. These annoying calls are the absolute pits.

[Winstons Julia]

This is a robopost.

To continue in English, press 1.

[Cyber Liberty]

I get the calls, too. And I’m on the Do Not Call Registry.

Get a rope.

[Drango]

Schumer is indeed a putz....but we can use him to end the calls. Work with him here. We’re all on the same side with this issue.

[Larry381]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Schumer’s extended family making the calls so “Bank Failure Chuck” could call another of his thousands of irritating and pointless press conferences.

[eclecticEel]

I had sorta gotten used to the robocalls coming in EVERY SINGLE DAY; but when they started calling me at work was when I lost it. They shouldn’t have known that I could be reached at that number, yet somewhere out there the database says that that number is associated with me - and so they thought they had the right to call me there as well.

“He’s ignoring us on his home phone, I know let’s call him at work!” I had to waste a lot of their time to make them stop calling me.

[angkor]

Several times a week on home and now the cell.

A month or two ago I played along with the sales guy and it was a very crude pitch to get a CC number for a $375 “deposit.” No finesse whatsoever.

To every question his response was “Blah blah blah, but if you’ll give me that credit card number we can take your #375 deposit and send the paperwork right out to you.”

Gawd, it’s about time they put a stop to this.

I’ve personally often day dreamed of trying to find these scammers and punching them square in the nose.

I just got one of these calls today on a work phone. Almost every person I speak to in CT has received a call from these idiots. They even call on cellphones.

[Always Right]

Perhaps this issue will make the Dems made enough to reinstate waterboarding.....We know stopping terrorism isn’t enough, but robocalls might push Dems over the top to see the light.

[DannyTN]

I thought maybe my do not call registry had expired. Don’t you have to renew those every couple of years?

Anyway, what took them so long to catch these guys for violating the do not call list?

[hugorand]

I think the government should stay out of it. I hang up.

[altair]

I just got one of these calls today on a work phone.

As did I. I neither live in the US full-time nor own a car. Fortunately, I have not yet been called on my cell phone.
