Often I'll receive a call which is immediately rejected, since I've already blocked that number. <br /><br />If I don't recognize the number I reject the call, which often leads to voicemail from the spammers; but that's at least easily deleted, and then I go back & block that number. Lately I just block everything, as almost all unknown numbers are spam.<br /><br />These days spammers seem to have unlimited phone numbers that they can call from. I'd sure like to know how they get them!Eskymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947922645001422523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-8229217855242345342018-05-11T09:40:21.456-04:002018-05-11T09:40:21.456-04:00Ha, Murphy, we got that call last night.

I let the callers know I'd be waiting; I have the coffee pot ready to go, and I've laid in a supply of Ships Ahoy and Nuther Bummer cookies, but I'm still waiting.<br /><br />In my world, out of area code calls, unidentified calls, anybody I don't know, get blocked. Lots of scammers spoof all sorts of numbers, so if I don't recognize the number, you don't get through. Do Not Call lists are a joke, so I make my own.Murphy(AZ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096111370780976408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-80024462123534307772018-05-10T13:20:01.546-04:002018-05-10T13:20:01.546-04:00I get those scam calls on both my phones several t...I get those scam calls on both my phones several times a day. You know the ones ... the IRS back taxes scam, the jury no-show scam, the one for solar power. Each call is from a different phone number every day. I tried blocking them, and within a week my systems were filled. At this point, if the call is not from a number in my contacts, I don't answer or just reject the call.
