I may have provided a link to this FCC notice in the past, but it probably deserves a re-visit. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-affirms-robocall-blocking-default-protect-consumers-0 Summary: Full Title: Advanced Methods to Target and Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls, Declaratory Ruling and Third Fu
Because Randall Stephenson doesn't want to explain to a Congressional committee next year why grand-ma-maw missed her twelve weekly "courtesy" calls from the pharmacy and died in agony on a hospital bed .... or why Manny missed an airline flight, Moe forgot to pay his gym bills, and Jack's house...
Interesting article (although you could have trimmed out the now useless links that were in the original). I have had a couple episodes dealing with callers who received calls spoofing my number. Fortunately for me it happens infrequently and the spoofers do not use my number for very long. In the...
That is a lot of calls, but probably not related to the DNC. Do you keep a call log? That is a good way to find patterns to figure out how your number is getting all this action. Answering and returning calls will get you more and more calls. You can improve your privacy by being selective about who...
https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/15/fcc-robocall-blocking-default/ The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been fighting robocalls for years, but as anyone with a cell phone can tell you, they're still getting through.

That might be the reason that I don't get many call's anymore, just a few ever now and then. Let all calls go to the answer machine unless I know who is calling. Must be working, haven't gotten and crap call since 29 Dec 16, what a way to start the new year, no crap calls, folks just don't answer,...
I just wanted to post this to let other people be aware. Since the first of the year, we have received a high volume of robocalls, sometimes at a rate of 5 an hour for the entire day, with many of the numbers repeating. I have picked up a few of them, and muted the phone so that I could listen. Many...
"given the device from a stand-alone orthopaedic clinic, with no charge to her." "pitching a way to up your score for getting Medicare to pay for such devices." Clinic looks suspicious to me as in maybe they are trying to bill the gov't for a more expensive model than she was actually given so they...
