    Consider buying a call blocking device or phone. Many are around $50.00 and can block up to 1500 numbers. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

    Folks be very careful. I was tried to be  trapped by someone pretended to be calling from IRS. A foreign accent goon was on the phone and appeared to talk and take directions from lady boss and telling me she is very strict, I said why can't she talk to me, then he said she left : ) The lady  had perfect accent my guess it was a recorded voice. Since I had no issue so I knew what is he up to. Reported to Police. Received few few similar  calls first messed with them by showing scare then  enjoyed trashing the goons as much I could. If u receive such calls, don't be scared just mess with the guys and curse as much as you can :)

    I swore I was done helping people who will not take 1 minute to help themselves, yet I am here again...

    PLEASE, quit posting about these calls and complaining, I spent alot of time tracking these people down. I posted physical addresses, down to the office suite and direct phone number to the real person's desk in charge of the calls. JUST call the guy and say STOP calling me. I can not stress enough the impact it has when you call an administrator of a scam directly at their direct phone number and ask to be removed from the list! It is a business people, when you call him, he knows you found the source, it is in his best interest TO MAKE SURE you get no more calls because you know who he is!

    It has been over 2 years since I gave you people this information and is still 100% accurate. Read the back logs, my battle started when Political Media Inc. started calling myself and my mother up to 20 times an hour. I took them down a peg by exposing them. Make the call to the corp. office, NOT to one of the spoofed numbers and you will stop getting the calls within 1 hr. Again, its a business, they scam thousands of people, taking 1 person off the list so they do not make waves is a priority to them!

    cheers,
    disco

    So you decided to post 876 number in a forum that is clearly titled 202 phone calls?  Obviously you either have reading comprehension problems or you simply are trying to disrupt the thread.  My guess is the latter.
