I Hate Scammers

The latest tactic I've been hit with by robocall scammers is that, if I don't contact them within 24 hours, the local cops are going to come and haul me away because I have "four charges pressed against [my] name."

I think this goes over the line from being merely annoying into being felony harassment. Shame there's nothing to be done about it.

Last one I got was the IRS had a warrant against me for back taxes. I’m on the do not call list but still get them. When they are generated from outside the US there is not much that can be done.
Friends/Family names ? @SageWanderer

@softspokenman It’s a small town so yes I recognize most of the names. Last one came up as my doctors office number.
Since it's a small town, do the real people know that their names/numbers are being used ? Are they and others receiving calls also ? @SageWanderer

The sad thing is a lot of people fall for these scams and give up a lot of money like hundreds and thousands. People have to understand if you have not received anything in the mail you owe nothing to no one so please do not fall for such scams.
I've started getting those calls also.

It's crazy the lengths they go to now.

Make sure you're on the Do Not Call register, then file a complaint against their number each time. IDK if it often helps, but it does generate at least some prosecutions.
I would like to be able to flag and block them.

@softspokenman You can block the numbers if they're coming in on a cellphone, but it doesn't seem to do much good.
