why can't these calls stop

get yourself one of those air horns, they don't call back ?:)

When I get a message like that I tell them to  hold on while I get my dad. I then keep them on the line by telling them he is on his way.Like to steal as much of their time as they steal of mine.

dont bother ditching your landline...same crap diff. pile on cellular.

This one didn't leave a message when my machine picked up.I rarely receive these calls, but if I accidentally answer a number I don't know, the calls start up again very frequently. They probably sell 'time of day & use' information to others.Weird thing is: my land-line corded phone rarely shows names or numbers, while for the same call my cordless landline sometimes shows half the info or unknown name- unknown number, while my 'on TV display' will show a name or phone number  that the phones don't. ..So if I don't memorize what was flashed on my TV, I can't even track it. I try to ALWAYS screen. And tell anyone I give my number to, to leave a message. I wait to recognize the caller before picking up.

When I pressed the number to speak to a rep I got on with a male, told him I was tired of their calling.  His response was "So What"  When I pursued he told me again, "So What"  Tried calling back but it was blocked as expected.  Reported it to our local phone company, they gave me the number for ghost busters, 1-+1 888-495-8801.  That is my next move.
