it doesn’t work because they’re all robo calls - you’re listening to a computer, not a human
Not all are robos. I get human solicitors all the time.
Correct.
Very few calls are made by old fashion telephone solicitors anymore.
It’s all robocalls. Their latest gimmick is displaying false telephone prefixes to get you to think your getting a local call from your own neighborhood or prefix.
Example - if your telephone number is 555 723-8871 - then you will get 3-4 calls per week from 555 723-XXXX numbers.
All robocalls.
You can scream, curse, blow whistles, ask they put you on a do not call list - whatever. The bot does not care.
