and if my provider can provide it. ID Phones are fairly inexpensive.

They just keep calling and leave messages on the answering machine..

I never pick up my google/house phone. It's the number I give out to websites when I don't plan to respond. I don't pay a monthly fee for the line either. I imagine one could port their landline, but I gave that up long ago.

me the warranty on my 2011 Chevy Cruze was expired. Sold my Cruze 4 1/2 years ago.

almost 5 years ago bought a Subaru XV and yes I keep getting the same calls you do.

So if it is a real person and not a robocall, I keep asking them which vehicle they are talking about. I never confirm any of their guesses or even how many vehicles we currently own. Unless I have something else to do, it's cheap entertainment for me and frustrates the hell out of them.

But I need to have a live one. used it on the caller from Mumbai and heard him saying “MF.”

yes he kept calling all day but finally left me alone.

Law Enforcement Against Drugs. Don't they have plenty of money to fight drugs?

Anyway, I understand these charities just make some fat cat rich.

Bob from shipping never bothers to return my calls

I answer every question with my best Rainman voice, "yeah". I try to burn their time, but many catch on quickly and it lasts less than a minute. Sometimes their script requires they do a lot more talking and it goes longer, especially if I catch a dim one who won't deviate from the script.

Rule number one: Never, ever, offer or confirm ANY information.
Rule number two: Never, ever, press an option number (The delete option rolls your number onto another list that is sold to someone that automatically knows something about you - you will press a button).

Along with Beth, Nancy, and Carol.

But I actually did have a guy call once regarding refinancing credit card debt.

He seemed totally baffled when I asked, "Health care who?"

As soon as I recognize the call as a robocall, I tap the hangup button, and then tap Block. That number goes into the long list of blocked numbers on my phone. I started doing that as soon as I got rid of my landline, which had no such feature, and got an Android cell phone. That was a couple of months ago.

I'm getting fewer and fewer such calls now. Apparently, it's working. Yes, they change phone numbers and spoof other numbers, but it is working over the long run.

Now, if I can get rid of all those people trying to collect money from "Jennifer," who last had my cell number over 10 years ago, I will feel like I have really accomplished something.

He really pissed off one of them, they called back to cuss him out. Wonder if he kept his job?

They claim to be from “Social Security”

It actually was legitimate from a local business. (Pretty sure, anyway.)
They wanted to give an estimate on cleaning ducts.
We have circulating hot water heat. No ducts in the entire house.
So sad for them!
