Scams-Robo scammer selling Senior Medicare keeps getting thru call block feature
We are listed on DoNotCall list. Bought newer landline phones and added call block. Still getting 10 to 20+ call a day. The company has spoofed numerous other numbers. Have sent reports to FCC. We’ve had this number since 1956.
ATT customer service added the call block but charged us more than she quoted. We block every single call and they appear in my block list.
How do we stop these scammers. They also do not speak English.

Because they are spoofing numbers, I don’t know how you think they can be stopped. And most come out of call centers in third world countries so a Do Not Call list means nothing to them.
My advice…DO NOT ANSWER unknown numbers. If it’s important, they will leave a message. When you ANSWER a call, that signals the caller that they have someone willing to engage so you stay on their list.
DO NOT ANSWER UNKNOWN NUMBERS.

We don’t answer. Immediately do the call block.

Good news. Think I found a way to still use the “landline” phones by buying Cell2Jack and dropping ATT completely. 😁😁😁

I have found if you wait about three seconds to say anything they disconnect. Real people will still be on the line. I think their system listens for a quick hello then switches on a recorded message. This is preceded by a short squeak or chirp. If you hear the chirp hang up.
