Blocking Junk Calls [telecom]

I also. It seems to me this is the best argument for re-legalizing competing (completely separate) phone networks.

The Constitution limits only *government's* powers to block communication.

We do have no protection at all, since the DNCL is completely toothless.

Record a couple of the calls. Take them to small claims court.

Subscribe to "call block" (or whatever telco calls it in your area).

I got a junk call yesterday. The name portion of the caller ID said "PHONE SCAM". A least they are honest about that!

I let the machine answer, but they did not leave a message.

I wish I could get my bank to stop calling both my home and business numbers trying to get me to sign on for the 'privilege' of letting them charge me $35 should I overdraw by 1 cent.

I think I might stop by my local branch and tell them if they DON'T stop calling that I'll just withdraw my money and put it in a credit union.

That was the only way I could get Wells Fargo to quit calling me trying to sell me insurance, after they bought a bank where I had an account.

Per Fred Atkinson:

A year ago, I would have said the same thing.

Keep your fingers crossed and count your blessings....

Well,

I'm still not getting telemarketing calls.

But if you've read my recent posts, I am getting annoyance calls from some company in Harlingen, TX. They never say anything and just hang up. And it comes from a bunch of different numbers [which I keep blocking] all in Harlingen, TX according to the reverse lookup.

But I am unable to determine who they are. I've sent a letter to the NM Attorney General and I'm waiting to see what they do.

Regards,

Fred
