Re: Fed Up With Scam Robocalls and Telemarketers!

@itiswhatitis Especially when they are calling all hours of the day and night, getting calls at 6:00 a.m., scares me as I think it is an emergency about a family member, the same goes for calls that come at 11:00 p.m., once the phone wakes me up, I am up,  no falling back to sleep for me, so I want all the help I can get from outside sources so these scam calls STOP!

I get them on my cell phone persistently.  This, despite being on the Do Not Call Registry which must have been a joke or something.


@itiswhatitis, my husband and I both are gething them on our cellphones..  Love auto reject... I agree about the do not call list.😆


@Suziepeach  I didn't know this font existed.  I think I will make it my new font.  LoL

Tomorrow I'm going to enter all our numbers, including MIL's, on that stupid do not call list.  What was it someone said a good while back, you should put your numbers in again after a while?  I don't know but that rings a bell..  LOL

It's okay, @Suziepeach.  It gave me a chuckle when I saw it.  I was thinking about how much complaining there would be if I adopted that as my new everyday font.  Can you imagine?  hehe

Went to Do Not Call and didn't have to reregister, verified all 6 numbers and it passed but all these calls, grrrrrrrrrr..

Re: Fed Up With Scam Robocalls and Telemarketers!

I keep our landline off the hook all day long, until bedtime, just in case it's needed for an emergency.  Then, in the morning, we get our first robo call, so I take it off the hook for the rest of the day.  Day in, day out...........

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
