    >> . Changing my phone number might be better,  <<

    No, not really.

    A lot of posters on 800notes complain they get many calls from scammers.
    A few posters state they get hardly any.
    Why the difference?  Here are possible reasons.

    Click on the associated "Info" line under any statement to read why NOT to use that method.

    Answering the phone when the caller's number is unfamiliar
    Info01
    Instead of answering, let the call go to voicemail or answering machine.  Legitimate callers will usually leave a message.

    Pressing a number "to be taken off the list"
    Info02
    That works for legitimate telemarketers, but, if you were on the Do Not Call list, legitimate telemarketers would not have called you in the first place.  Pressing a number on a call from a telespammer merely confirms you answered the phone and will follow scammer's instructions.  That make your number more valuable for even more spammers!

    Returning the call.
    Info03
    At best, returning a scammer's call merely confirms your phone is "live", and your number will be added to a list that will be used by even more scammers.  At worst, the call will cost you additional fees, if it is from a foreign country, such as Jamaica (876 area code).  Also, scammers are now spoofing Caller IDs, so the number you see may not really be the number that called you.  It might belong to an innocent, third party.

    Arguing with the caller:
    Info04
    Call center employees have probably heard your argument many times.  They may either continue to try to scam you, or they will hang up ... but will also make sure some other scammer calls your number, later.

    Blowing a horn or whistle into the phone:
    Info05
    Will irritate the scammer.  The scammer may then add your number as a "spoofed Caller ID", so others think YOU are calling them, and YOU may hear retaliatory horns or whistles if the irritated called person calls YOU back!

    Forwarding the call to a government office.
    Info06
    Not too swift.  All that does is tie up a line at the govt office, and record YOUR number as the forwarding number!  Realize that your congress person knows phone scams are a problem, and also knows the FCC and FTC have been assigned the task of upholding the laws concerning this problem.  Instead, you should report the problem via normal channels to the FTC or FCC.

    Giving or forwarding the supposed scammer's phone number to other scammers.
    Info07
    May not be a good idea.  The 1st scammer might have used a spoofed phone number, and, if you give it to other scammers, all you are doing is causing more calls to and problems for an innocent person.

    Getting a new phone number.    
    Info08
    Eventually, after getting many scam calls, some people think their only recourse is getting a new number.  That is not true.  The "new number" is probably somebody else's "old number", and will come accompanied with its own baggage (and calls).

    Giving up your landline (if you have a landline)
    Info09
    The scammers and spammers call BOTH cells and landlines.  Although it might seem easier to block such calls on a cell, there are landline instruments, devices and procedures that can be used with landlines.  Keeping your landline means you would not have to tell all your relatives & friends that phone number is no longer yours.


    What you SHOULD do:
    If you are disturbed by frequent calls from scammers / spammers. obtain a call blocker app, device, phone, or service.  Google is your friend.  Remember, the Do Not Call list is designed to prevent calls from legitimate, registered telemarketers, but scammers / spammers are not legitimate telemarketers, do not register, and they ignore the DNCL or your requests!

    Remember
     The DNC list is NOT a call blocker!

    They have been calling me daily for several months. I didn't not provide much information when I first spoke with themy and they told me it was regarding a past phone bill that is outstanding. I know there is no money due and called the phone company. They also assured me that my balance was ZERO and they were also confused as to why a collector was calling me in regards to it. I can't help but to feel as though this company is a scam and have started to document calls. Not sure how to report them, but I'd love to shut them down. Waste of everyone's time and energy.

    I've also been getting harassed by this company. However I don't have an outstanding debt of any kind from any company.  Also, they are asking directly for ME! I have blocked them as well and they just continue to  call. Not sure how to deal with this form of harassment.

    They Keep calling me, but I don't owe any money.  I've asked them to send something in the mail and they won't do it until I confirm who I am.  I refuse to do it.  They call many times a day, but leave no message.

    hey whoever called replies to Narwhal
    I listened from another time of day I didn't change numbers you are losing your mind and your job if you call again. You said nothing about birth dare when you call before. Yes you are gonna get yelled at by me cuz I don't owe any unknown number that I don't know. If you don't like it call me again and ask meee for what cuz they give you recycled numbers and it isn't anything to do with me. Don't innply I'm being evasive when I give you an honest answer. No calling necessary no person by that name and I had someone steal my other info. Too bad no Ching Chingchinese language I have it on. Now I'm letting you go to check a few features. I don't care if you put up a report on your complaint on my phone about falsehoods no case sorry.
