I never answer number I don't recognize.  I hate the fact that the time zone I'm in makes the calls early morning.  Five calls in one days in not good.

Phony solicitation that I didn't answer due to caller i.d. info.  They hung up.

Is it possible that others posting here contribute to the DAV? I do. I'm a Veteran, 60%+ service connected disabled, and have trouble reaching the telephone which is ironically, likely a lowlife soliciting for Veterans. The landline provider offers a blocking service. Surprise! It refuses to block these lowlifes. Why? Possibly because they could have filed for tax exempt status. These lowlifes must have strong stomachs or manage to brush teeth and or shave and or comb their greasy hair in mirrors without looking into their own eyes.

This is where you should think about investing in a call blocking device and ditch the phone company's call blocking. You can get a device a little under 40 now and they can block any of these as well as area codes, private and unknown name & numbers.

Thank you for your suggestion. Something very positive flowed from being hounded by those lowlifes. Rest assured that my home and castle is once again peaceful. Now, to adequately thank the person responsible.
Why was all of this necessary? Why must people endure the intrusion of lowlifes such as these? Calls once and twice daily? Calls after 8 P.M.? Do these lowlifes hope to wear their victims down? They, and others are a pathetic lot. Worse yet, are the guvamint "officials" overseeing the donotcall operation. "Charities" and political fund raisers are excluded from donotcall restrictions!! Now, isn't that the greatest coincidence? Go figure! I have visions of both groups graphically repaying us but I should focus on peace and goodwill. I hope you're free of those lowlifes as well.
