I got registered on the Federal Do Not Call list to stop these very calls two years ago. Every single day I get at least one call from this recorded caller, sometimes slightly different messages but all aiming for a “yes” to a question that when answered does not seem to affect anything with getting someone on the line. The numbers are always different, except for being in my (682) area code so they are also IMPOSSIBLE to block. Obviously spoofed. I am a terribly disabled widow with an adult son with autism. Unwanted calls are not just irritating in my household. These calls are an ordeal. They cause my son and I extreme anxiety attacks. Mine, mostly due to my son’s anxiety inability to control his anxiety attacks. These crooks are not any different than people breaking into our home to rob us of what peace we can manage to get, and I do not believe there is no way to stop it. The phone companies we pay for services from should be compelled to stop selling phone services to people who do not have a legitimate business or traceable phone number. The phone companies are the ones who also need to be held accountable for cash grabbing from scammers who use their services. I’m sure those scammer people pay a whole lot more for all those services per month than any of us customers do. I’m sure that would have something to with phone companies unwillingness to stop it. T Mobile is my carrier and have been for many years. I’ve called repeatedly trying to get help with blocking these creeps and a few other relentless callers. They claim inability to do anything about it. Their advice was to get a scam blocker, however, I get calls from people I do NEED to be able to receive calls from that are sometimes from a no caller ID phone number, like the Social Security Administration!! The real ones, not the spoofers, of which there are many… also paying for phone service. I get calls now and then from old friends who have changed their phone numbers so theirs also comes up as “scam likely”, so blocking, so blocking those numbers is not a decent option. That is the very reason most people have a phone, Is it not? To be able to get calls from their friends and families? This is a gross injustice that is being allowed to continue, due to politicians with their grubby little hands in corporate pockets, getting “lobbied “ by the sorry, equally corrupt phone companies to keep them from listening to the public outrage over this problem.
