I get like 8 of these a day. When is the FCC going after them?

“The commission said Mr. Rhodes used an online calling platform to intentionally manipulate caller ID information to display local phone numbers as the source of the calls. That practice, known as neighbor spoofing, violates the Truth in Caller ID Act...”

He should have farmed the robocalls out to India, then he'd never get caught.

I have gotten calls from the local Highway Patrol, the electric company, local numbers and names, etc.

They are mostly all Credit Card Services. Or a warranty for my 200,000 mileage car that has expired that they don’t know the brand or model of.

So why can’t the Feds get them?

I think they use my 15-year no-call listing as their dialing list.

If I am not sure, and answer, I generally call them LIARS, LIARS . . . as soon as I get a human (Steve from India).

The plan that I am afraid to use is to explicitly threaten them in the most vile and detailed way, such as to cause them to complain - thus revealing their identity. But I would probably be charged for terrorist threats instead.

What if I don’t want to waste my time and be interrupted by Telemarketers and politicians not even from my State.

8 or more a day at always inconvenient times. I wear hearing aids and phone use is a chore.

I’m from a generation that rarely used the phone. I have Photos on the numbers I do have in my phone. I no sooner block a spam call and they call back again. If I need a Brace my Ortho would of prescribed it.
