    Get a burner number on Google voice or something like TextFree and call back numbers on that. Then never answer it because they will start to call it.

    Why call back unknown numbers at all?

    Set "Silent" for the default ringtone on your phone, and set a distinctive ringtone for all on your list of contacts.  Scammers rarely leave a message, and when legit callers do...call *them* back.  I'm never hassled by scam calls on my cell phone any more.

    I doubt Patricia will have hung around waiting for your thanks.  The post you responded to was from *six years ago*.

    So the scammers have rights to keep their numbers private, but the person being harassed has none????

    What are you talking about, what Rights? *67 is a phone service, not a Law.

    Yeah, well said if you want to encourage people to never want to find out who called, it would make coming to this website pointless if everyone thought that way.
