Got a call at 10:45 this AM.  No caller ID.   Since I didn't recognize the number, I didn't answer the phone, suspecting it's yet another telemarketer who doesn't respect the DoNotCall registry laws.  I keep hearing that the FTC just doesn't have the resources to enforce this effectively.  It's really annoying paying $60 a month for a landline that I hold onto just because it's tied into my home security system and otherwise really don't use.  Instead of blocking selected phone numbers, I wish the system were set up that only phone numbers I recognized and programmed into the phone somehow got through.

They called 2 times today, both with a pre-recorded message saying I won a free cruise. Telemarketing scam

a Robo-call?
I picked up, IT hung up.
I called # back to see if a human was on the other end, voicemail, or what.
Got a Verizon announcement :
"disconnected or no longer in service"

received a call from this likely scammer... thanks to these entries on 800notes, i did not bother to answer

Free Bahamas cruise Scam.  Just pay the taxes and port fees.  They want your credit card number for the fees.  Yea Right.
I guess they keep making the calls because there are Idiots out there that fall for the scam and actually give them the credit card numbers.  There's a sucker born every minute.
