Do any of you have a land line phone?
I'm on the do not call list and it doesn't work at all anymore. I've been getting so many scam phone calls I stopped answering my phone unless I know who it is. I reported dozens of calls. I maxed out the number of blocked calls at 30 on the phone I own.
Thinking about trying to find some kind of call blocker.
Do you guys have the same set up?

This is the IRS, we are fi,I got a lawsuit against you and it is very important you call back this number blah blah, etc.
Or this is irs agent smith, etc etc
Or congratulations, you won a ford explorer or something else.
Those are among those who left messages.
My relative down the street has no computer or caller ID. Some guy has called about her puter or computer so many times she picks up, hears puter, and imnediAtely slams the phone down. My relative is 85 and struggles walking to the phone. That's like elder abuse scam phone calls.
Our government has failed the nation big time with the do not call list.
If they can't think of something that works, we need a new list that only rings if you accept the number or you white listed it already.
Website and register your phone # again. It expires after a few years and you're required to do it again. Anyone who's done business with you in the last few years can still call your #, and of course they can sell it to another agency. This without you directly picking up the phone, answering when they call and explicitly tell them to take you off their call list.
My favorite has to be the autodialer they have setup to say, "Hello this is xxx. Can you hear me ok?" Wait 2 or 3 seconds for the person to respond then, "Ok that's great......." It has to be one of the better setup scams out there and I bet they get a huge percentage of people actually thinking it's a real person. I have no idea what they're selling because When I hear that opening line I just hang up.
No. This isn't 1990.
