Harassing Phone Calls: What To Do

I get calls from people asking about doors and window's all the time .. i had my doors and windows chnaged like 4 years ago and I still get calls from people and i always say put me on the do not call list .. it never works!!
Now im tempted to use one of those hand held air horns that people bring to ball games and marinas and useing it on the phone for the next jerk that ask if I need my doors and windows changed!!

thats a good way to get rid of them  use a air horn

I have been receiving some very obscene and harassing phone calls from an person who has been blocking their number.
Its shows up "private" on my Sprint phone. Looking into identifying the perpetrator, I am told that the callers number cannot be revealed to protect their privacy.... without police obtaining a warrant.

This is unbelievable. What about MY privacy? I am told that I have to change my phone number

There are millions of people facing this same problem EACH DAY. Why is the FCC implementing a policy like this??? Is is the FCC??

I called the police department, and I was basically blown off with a "it's too much work to look into...  I have to go get a warrant... try to get Sprint to just give you the numbers...."

This entire website is full of frustrated people who are getting unwanted calls. Nothing can be done about any of it. I think we should (somehow) make all the phone service providers offer us a simple 'call blocking' feature to stop these callers. This should be a mandatory feature for every phone provider. The technology is available. Why won't they give us the feature on our phones?????!!!!!

Do not call registry is a piece of crap just likem99.9% of anything run by our wonderful government. The government can't even keep 20 million illegals from invading our country and collecting tax payer funded benefits, which costs us tens of billions of dollars a year. Do you really think they're compentent enough to stop phantom telemarketers from calling you? The only reason the government set this up was to shut us up and make us "feel" better. They are not doing a damn thing, as usual...except they ARE making companies pay for the stupid DNC list which is generating big bucks for them. BUT, as far as actually doing any work (ie enforcing the DNC list), they can't be bothered.

donocall.gov is the same as CAN-SPAM Act.  A total waste of everybody's time.

One measure that may be effective against these telemarketers is to have a large group of people keep bombarding them with phone calls.

It'd be advisable to dial *67 for Call Display Block.  That way they don't know where you're calling from.

Imagine if a single telemarketer receives a million phone calls within a 24 hour period.  Each caller saying nothing, until the telemarketer hangs up!  That would render their whole operation useless.

I'd like that to happen to 866-840-1377.

Okay, how about this: If I hack a cell phone number and use it for personal use or sell it for profit - Theft of Service, correct? If I climb a utility pole and connect my TV cable so I can watch TV for free - Theft of Service, correct? If I cut the seal on my electric meter box, pull the meter out and spin it upside down to make it run backwards in order to get "free" electricity - Theft of Service, correct? If a Telemarketing Company calls cell phones or text message phones against established Federal Laws or spoofs Caller ID to bypass home displays against Federal Law - Theft of Service - correct? So...
Losses incurred because of a casualty, disaster, or theft may be tax-deductible. Casualty and theft losses are reported on Form 4684 and Form 1040 Schedule A.
Loss of property because of theft may be tax-deductible. According to the IRS, “a theft is the taking and removing of money or property with the intent to deprive the owner of it. The taking of property must be illegal under the law of the state where it occurred and it must have been done with criminal intent.” You may have a theft loss if you are the victim of:
blackmail, burglary, embezzlement, extortion, kidnaping for ransom, larceny, or robbery.
Perhaps if we begin documenting the losses due to Telemarketing and begin deducting these losses from tax forms - in other words talk to them in their own language - they may start to listen to "We The People" and do something about this telephone virus that's beginning to encroach more and more into our daily lives.
I dunno... Just Wondering...

A LITTLE PIECE OF MIND?
I have come to the conclusion that you're always going to have some type of harassing call. So, I decided to use a couple of phone tools to help stymie the flow of calls. I use caller ID (obviously) but I also use call blocking which requests unidentified callers to shut off their ID block and call back. If a call still gets through with a blocked ID, this means it is usually coming from out-of-state.
So, anyone who knows me has their ID unblocked and if the phone rings with an 800 number or a blocked ID, I just don't answer the phone, the answering machine picks up after 4 rings and they usually hang up when they realize it is a machine, which gives me a small sense of satisfaction. My satellite tv receiver also has a hookup so I see the caller ID right on the tv screen which makes it easier.
Since using this method, a number of them have given up, some are more persistent but subside for a while and try again after a few weeks/months. But, all in all, I feel a bit of relief knowing that  I am now waisting THEIR time and just ignore their calls. If you have someone harassing you and is stupid enough to leave messages, then you have just cause for legal action. Otherwise, I just look at the tv when the phone rings and if it's unidentified or 800, I let the machine get it and snicker everytime I hear them hang up!

I am receiving phone calls from 877 209 5701 - some credit cooperation - it rings several time a day - don't leave a message or no one on the line. Couple of time the caller identifies him/herself about a credit corp.
I called back and they ask about the last four numbers of my S.C.# - which I refused to give out - so they hung up .I don't know what this people want.
