They have to use that equipment for something between election cycles.

I am also a receiver of Rachel’s concern, even when I stay on the line long enough to press the button to stop farther calls. There must be enough business generated to justify predatory, dissembling calls, but why that should be the case passes me by.

There’s a really good app called ‘Call Blocker’, at least for Android. It will answer, then hang up on the robocalls immediately. We got rid of our home phone so can’t help you there.

When they call me, it’s “Bridgett”....just got one. I send complaints to my “do not call” people but so far it has not worked.

All in and place your number on a “do not disturb” list.

It won’t stop everything, but it cuts way down on these sorts of calls.

I am seriously tempted to start using the NSA hotwords once I get a live person onthe line...

But the NSA would probably arrest me and not these despicable scammers...

It also lets you block specific area codes. The robocalls I used to get came from either NYC or Brownsville, TX. Go figure.

Now you are starting to hit on something, if enough do this, they will shut them down just to get them out of the equation and stop them from screwing with their equations.

I reported a number of violators, but found no way to follow up on the website and find out what action (if any) was taken.

When you do get a call from Rachel or some other human solicitor, they most likely first tell you the call is being recorded for training purposes.

Just tell 'em, "I Don't Want To Be Recorded!"

It really throws them for a loop, usually have to tell 'em a couple of times.

After stammering around, they end the call with a thank you.

At work the worst solicitors are stock brokers & bad debt collectors.

Oh, there is another from work, someone will call wanting to set an appointment for their boss to stop by and tell you how to make more money.

There my first question is why is the boss keeping all this information to himself and not sharing with you so you can be a boss too.

Y`all are going about this all wrong. Have fun with them. I use a foreign accent and jack around with them. It’s hilarious when they get mad. My kids love it when I get those calls.

I must have turned Rachel in 50 times for calling. It got so bad that I said that the Colorado no call people were just as bad as she was and were probably working with her. I finally got a reply and they said they were just contractors working for the state of Colorado and had no authority. When she calls just lay down the phone and waste her time or hit #1 and waste a live person’s time. I think she works for ICE.

Next time you get a live person, act like you`re hard of hearing. That one really pisses them off.

I get their stupid messages on my voicemail, since I don’t answer those calls.
