I am guessing these are from different phone numbers so blocking will be a problem. I am getting ready to change the answering machine message to indicate all calls will be screened, and that if you really want to talk to me leave a message and phone number.

There is a service called NoMoRobo, you need to sign up on line and your telephone service provided needs to support the service, this may help.

One of the big problems is that the scam/spam callers are now using computer sites to mask or change the phone number displayed, so call blocking no longer works as they are constantly changing numbers. I have actually gotten calls from my OWN phone number and e-mails from my OWN email address.

I feel your pain, if you find a solution, please post it for the rest of us.
