If the phone rings and comes up a number instead of a name. I dont answer it. Im on every do not call list that exists, but I still get about 3 calls per day... +1 and since they never leave a voice mail you know it was a crap call. Ted

About 3 a day I tell them I drive a 72 dodge and they hang up but then a new Habib calls back later. Call from a different number every time they call. You can block but it’s like whack a mole. That is exactly what it is like, and why I don't bother blocking the numbers anymore, for that reason. I swear, "no call lists" are sold to the scammers too, so I don't bother with them anymore either.

Couple weeks ago I had one hang up on me so I called them back, got another one of them in their sweat room, they hung up. After about the 5th call back you could hear folks in the background saying, is that him again. Called back again and they had blocked my number. You just gotta turn the tables on them, I very rarely get calls anymore. I think I've been put on some type of Do Not Call list. 🤣🤣

I’ve had 7 calls in the last 3 weeks from the same duct-cleaning company I hired last April for the first time. Since the 2nd call I’ve been asking them to take me off their list. The last three times I followed up with a complaint to the govt dept that is supposed to fine the azzholes. There is a switch on your iPhone settings that silences unknown callers. Set that oo.

Please hold and an agent will be with you shortly". Hang ups often occur faster than light speed. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

g5m Campfire Ranger G Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 19,495 desert	Originally Posted by RJL53 The DNC list is a waste of time, it doesn't do s hit. Best thing is if you don't know the number calling on your caller ID don't answer it. Let the call go to your answer machine they usually don't leave any message. If I'm close to the phone I hit the answer button followed instantly with the hang up button, seems to stop a lot of them because it appears that my number isn't a good one. Works for me.... They've helped me in the past. After I had received many calls from some "cancer research" outfit in the D.C. area with constantly changing phone numers I contacted the "Do Not Call" place and sent the complaint and the list of numbers that I had saved and a week or two later those calls stopped. To be replaced by some Hindi accented guy telling me he worked for the Gov't and to give him my Social Security number. Despicable people, these scammers. Retired cat herder.
