Spam/Scam/Telemarketing Calls

[DEEKAYPEE8569]

Its been so bad on my cell lately that ive had to install a spam blocking app. It works fairly well and so the calls are automatically blocked, only a few stragglers get through. I was getting 3 or 4 a day. Mostly the auto warranty robocalls, occasionally student loan calls.

You mean the calls about buying an extended warranty for your car? I still get those for the car I "sold" to my Brother. I got something in the mail yesterday about the availability of an extended warranty for the same car; would have cost money that could be better spent elsewhere. "Just trash it" was the reply. :shrug:

Got a spam call over the weekend. It was from DirecTV. I picked up the phone and a recording said that it was DTV but all their operators were currently busy so please hold. Really? A telemarketer that automatically puts you on hold??? SMH.

I heard or read somewhere, if you get calls like that, immediately and repeatedly press the # key; it's said that that messes up their auto dialer.
