Its sad that they can make these calls for free and do not care about no call list.

Two of the very largest telemarketers were shut down last year. However it would really be nice if the government will get involved with India and Pakistan and shut down down their telemarketers?

That will never happen. How about everyone use common sense and if the call doesnt sound right, it isnt. The grandson scam has been around for decades

Wish they would do something about it but unfortunately they do not seem like they are interested in doing so.

They set up the do not call registry and it does not work and do not see any interest in doing something else to stop these robocalls.

Ever notice the extreme decrease of robocalls on weekends? Amazing. I screen calls, if not in phone (and I’ll admit some that should be there aren’t) and home phone I don’t care what it says, if it’s important they will leave a message. I answer when I recognize voice.

I adopted grandchildren just so I could talk to the SCAMMERS. We chat about how good they are for maybe 30 or 40 minutes. It helps kill the time.

I find that I can engage them in silly conversations and get my daily steps in while asking questions.

Often it takes 10 minutes before they realize I have no interest in their scams.
