Honestly, my life would not be complete if I didn't receive these calls.  The stress of waking up to a call marked UNKNOWN, running to the phone to find I missed OUT OF AREA's call.  Knowing there is someone out there wanting to fix my computer, save me from the IRS, sue me for a bill I dont owe.  These are exciting times, so much so, I am giving up my landline after some 40 years of having one.  Toodles.....

I did not answer and no message was left.  I re-dialed the number and got a message saying "this no. is no longer in service".

A spoofed number.  When I called back an automated message announced:  "Your call cannot be completed as dialed.  Please check the number and dial again."

You can  NOT block their telephone number !  They call from SPOOFED telephone numbers or a VOIP
telephone number ( voice over internet )

They have the ability to cause a fake telephone number and or name to show on your caller i.d. SO
BLOCKING THEIR NUMBER DOES ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD !

EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET TOGETHER AND FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT LAWSUIT AGAINST
THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES -- ALL OF THEM.

Telephone companies have the ability to stop such calls but refuse to do so ! All they need to do is install equipment.

The telephone companies are selling a service that is defective !   The service does not work / is defective !

The monthly charge on everyone phone bill is bogus ! The service,  star *69 service is defective as it allows
the caller to mask their correct name and number / sending fake name and number.
The telemarketers can cause ANY NUMBER / fake numbers / name to show on anyones caller i.d.

So, blocking the number does absolutely NO GOOD !

You have no idea about what you are talking about.

Yet another useless post about suing the telcos.
