If I ever find out where they are calling from, and if it is in the lower 48 states. You will see it on the national news. I am on the no call list, I have all unknown calls silenced, yet about 30 calls a day still happen. This is absolutely BS and I am beyond my limits. I truly despise these muslim and hindu POS jokers and I hope they choke on their camel that they eat tonight.

The do not call list is actually the call list for muslims

I found a way to stop getting them regularly
They are robo calls, so I answer as soon as I don't recognize the number
And immediately hang up, you do this 2 or 3 times and your off of that list
It may seem stupid, but it works for me. Haven't had one in a few months now

I wish President Trump would have drones take out all the call centers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and every foreign country, that prey on Americans, even though I know it's not feasible to do so.

I was getting an insane amount of them about 2 months ago. I used to ignore them, I am on the "supposed do not call list", etc... However when you own 2 businesses and they have the technology to make you believe they are calling locally you cannot ignore every call. I changed my tactic, when I knew it was Spam I answered by screaming "Can you hear me!!" As if we had a bad connection, repeatedly until they finally said "I can hear you!" I said "Great! If you ever call me again I am going to take my boot and plant it so far up your (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) that you will be tasting leather." They stopped calling. I am all in favor of targeting them once we run out of drug boats. I hate the fact that Verizon can put "potential spam" as caller i.d by everyone of the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)'s numbers, but yet they still allow it to ring my phone.

That's a lot of calls per day, is this a cell phone?, if so is there a spam filter? that amount is crazy.

I'm all for it. Have seal team 6 live broadcast taking down a call center and the calls would stop.

I used to block every number that was a spam call.
One day I called a number back and it was a personal residents number.
Have had people call me and get nothing but voice mail.
Found out the scammers used their number, and I blocked it.
I get 10-20 a day sometimes, mostly Medicare scams, as they're not allowed to call you, unless you contact them first.

Hope someday they find a way to track them, there has to be a way to track them down.

An Asian gal called last week to tell me I won $5.5 million and a new Cadillac in the Publisher's Clearing House. I didn't even enter.

yes it is a cell phone. I found the filter by looking up how to access it on Youtube. they are now silenced, but they call back using a different number. I am all for bombing every location from which they operate. and yes about the no call list. that doesnt deter any of these maggots.

I never answer a call that's not in my "book", that and the spam filter keeps most calls away...the no call list is a joke.
I used to block unwanted calls, but I ended up with hundreds on the phone, and it only helped till they used a new number.

If someone needs to reach you that's not in your book, they can leave a message....I never have a spam call leave a message...

Then you don't get enough Spam calls! LOL I was getting the same Spam call with voicemail from multiple states, multiple voices (male and female), multiple numbers but the EXACT same wording on the pre-recorded message they left.

The do not call list must have some impact after a while I can’t remember the last spam call I’ve had. But donate to a political campaign and they haunt you everyday in every way trying to guilt you into giving them more money. If you send STOP a different number just sends you the next guilt trip.

If I get one a week it's a lot. Im on no call list. I don't answer a number I don't know. Once a number doesn't leave a message I block it.
Answering and hanging up, keeps you on their call list.

Same here. I don't do FB and hardly ever get any spam calls. My wife lives on FB and is always complaining about all the spam she gets on her cell phone.
