      These sons of ....

      I get so tired of scam callers and robocalls that I'm about to lose my freaking mind. From healthcare, expired warranties, electric costs to the most recent... a call from a few Canada numbers claiming to to be Windows Tech Support. I've tried all avenues I can think of aside from changing my phone number. Just pisses me off to think that I work my ass off for a living and these asshats are trying to steal it every way they can think of.

      Most cell phones have a block feature in them... it takes a minute, but blocking all the spam numbers that call in, definitely saves the sanity later on... you should check your phone to see if you have that block feature...

      I block every single one that comes through. I have like over 100 numbers on my blocked call list. It just pisses me off that there's nothing anything or anyone has figured out how to just stop them completely. Really drives me freakin crazy.

      You can’t unfortunately... they have programs and work arounds... they’ll even call you from masked numbers and one day your own number comes up calling yourself...

      Maybe you can create the app that allows only numbers from your phones contact list to call in... make it so you have to physically add them in order for calls to come through... I’d be your first customer!!

      I block about 5 numbers per day.
      They have developer options to change their number limitlessly at a click of a button.

      Mine is always "You need to update your google business listing."

      I sometimes answer to make the operator feel like shit about themselves. A couple of times I got them to try and argue how it was that, "Just doing my job" made them any less of a piece of shit for burdening people so that they can make a paycheck.

      I am on the national do not call registry.
      They call anyway.
      If a company is found to be spamming online or on the phone they should be shut the fuck down.
      I have a business line flooded with this fuckery.

      Lmao! I’m glad someone’s out there calling them out on their shit brother!

      Yeah that list means shit... I even called in to them and they informed me about the mask numbers and programs that create thousands upon thousands of phone numbers and emails to spam from.. untraceable and there’s nothing they say they can do... I call bullshit...

      I can’t imagine how frustrating that would be to have your own business and have to get those calls every damn day!!

      Most of them won't give a return number. If you ever get one get on google and spend a couple of hours signing them up for more info on payday loans. Those places sell all info so if you sign them up to speak with an associate with twenty or so that number is literally ruined.

      I did this for my brother once at his request and he got 400 calls per day and had to get a new phone. It was funny as fuck.

      Worst thing you can do is answer the number, because then they know they've reached a 'live' number. I don't answer any number I don't know. If it's actually a real person trying to get a hold of me, they'll leave a message. Then I block them as I see them calling. My calls have dwindled quite a bit, from 5-10/day to sometimes none for days, then there will be days I get two or three.
