401-375-9064 called my landline several times, within two minutes, over and over. Caller ID: Tiverton, RI, but call routed through East Providence, RI and some other city. Did not answer because when the caller ID states a city/state IT IS A SCAMMER OR SCAM TELEMARKETER. Do not answer this call.
NOTE: to all on 800 notes. Read this. Link to Consumers Union petition to stop RoboCalls. CU is actively pursuing the robocall issues.

ADDITIONALLY, MORE CELL PHONE ABUSE COMING: I was alerted via CU that It is currently illegal for debt collectors to robocall your cell phones without permission. A sneak provision in the federal budget rushed through Congress on November 6, 2015 (and no amendments allowed) would change that. And we know what that means beyond debt collector calls; robo callers and scammers will circumvent law and call cell phones beyond what we receive now.
Section 301 of the budget authorizes debt collectors to robocall anyone with educational loans or other federal debt including back taxes. It lets the debt collectors call their relatives, their references and even any unrelated person who happens to have the reassigned cell phone number of any of the above.
Debt collectors have already been robocalling cell phones illegally, and not necessarily the right cell phones.
Please sign the petitions and contact your Senators and representatives. I haven't let up on mine. Also a word with your local State Reps and Governor would help, as many State laws and business regulations allow, that is do not curtail, these calls.
