Last month i got so sick of the scammers i called back every friggin number and harassed them and strung them along. And this whole month no friggin calls. My phone doesn't ring off the hook anymore. I don't dare to put on the do not call list because that list goes to another company.
Probably more of a coincidence than anything else. I've found that whenever you even accept these calls, the calls to you will go up because they now know the number is answered by a live person.

What has worked for me is picking up, saying "hello" so that a human picks up, then set the phone down so they talk to no one, until they hang up. Then I hang up a few minutes later. So far several that have been calling every day 2-3 times have stopped.

I have started talking back with them asking if they are offering sex lol
I get sometimes 3-4 of these calls daily. The strange thing is, is that there's no one on the other end. I'll sometimes answer and either just listen for a minute to dead air or I'll say "hello" and it's the same result. I don't understand the reason for these empty robo calls.
