Default Driving me "NUTS"

I have 3 business phone numbers 1 main local number and 2 out of town local numbers I pay per month plus minutes fine no big deal.

Whats ticking me off is the sales calls for web page hosting, Bill collectors on who ever had these numbers and bill collectors on regular people I never heard of.
I have all numbers listed in the national no call list and They still call.
Tell Them I'm no so snd so no that business still call running up my phone bill every month.

Any you have this trouble?

I am on the no calls list also and still get calls. What they are doing now is calling on cell phones that can't be traced. They will always find a way. If you can ge a a number or address from them there is a number you can call to report them. I will see if I can find it.

I normally send those calls to voice mail. Quite a few of them too.

I been getting spoofed phone numbers from these people. I called one of the phone #'s back that was in the caller ID and the poor people that had that number had to put an answering machine explaining that some company is spoofing their phone number, that they did not originate the call.

I wish I had a butten I can push that would just zap the persons calling me 100 times and just hangs up when you say Hello.

what they count on is you paying the bill or whatever for a service you forgot you had with a company that doesnt exist. i bet the owner of this scam has the last name of PATEL.

check your phones bills every month. A rep at at&t told me that alot of these calls are recorded then they splice the calls if you talk to them to make it sound like you approved thier product to be added to your phone bill.
