No, it won't; it will only block that one number but the unlimited number of scammers have unlimited phone numbers to call us on so it will never end. What's worse is that phone handsets only have capabilities to block about 20 to 30 numbers at a time but that I can fill up new every day.
Further, the phone company provider claims they only have about the same limited number of blocks they can offer us as paying customers.
I remember before the internet was the go-to place for everything including the evening news and weather, I received at most one junk call per month and that was often a misdialed number. Now I get at least 5 junk calls per day. Gee, when every company company SWEARS TO US they NEVER sell, rent, or share our info to anyone else in any way, they are complete liars; they do anything for an extra buck. I've caught them at it by writing my name to certain merchants in such a way that it will reveal whether any junk mail and/or phone calls start arriving under that format/style, and who lied.
Sadly, there is essentially no penalty for liars, thieves, and scam artists.
We cannot even keep them from invading our homes through the internet, mail, and phone lines. If they did so through our doors or windows, we'd be within rights to defend ourselves from those intrusions and serious threats to life & property.
But not through any other method. And to have politicians be exempt from the Do-Not-Call Lists shouts VOLUMES as to who drives the bus for consumers.
