If only all of those employed at the FTC were getting these calls daily, this would have already happened! it would be illegal and the calls would stop.  I hope they get these calls soon to all their phones. That's the only way it will stop.  Only 73 people of 100,000 have signed the petition on the Whitehouse website, deadline in 7 days.

Many of these calls are coming from Costa Rica and India and they are using spoofed (false) numbers, which in itself is illegal. They do cold calling for or sell the leads to numerous companies in this country and they all know that what they are doing is illegal. Tomorrow this same number may be selling Cruises, Timeshares or Security Systems but if you follow the money it usually ends up in the hands of an American LLC.Most of the inbound robo call numbers are spoofed, as most of the bolierhouses, both off and on shore, are using Voip SIP Trunks services. Throwaway DID numbers are also used. Some of the robocalling is operated by the end use scammers directly. Others are contract services who earn a referral fee once you are transferred to the scammers.The criminals behind this operation aren't going to pay attention to you asking to be removed from their list. Their calls cost them almost nothing and they make millions of them so they have no intention of ever removing someone. When you press a key to talk to them all that is accomplished is to verify that they have a working number.Unfortunately blowing an air horn or whistle doesn't work either. Their headset have noise dampeners plus they are expecting it. However with that said if it makes you feel better then by all means give it a shot.The banking system is also at fault here, without merchant accounts and ACH processing these criminals could not collect the scammed funds. Though the criminals use obfuscation, layered corporations, multiple bank accounts and offshore stashing, patterns of obvious fraudulent activity become apparent after a very short time.This is an all out attack from these scum sucking filthy pigs! EVERYONE should be reporting them everywhere that they can. Since this is an obvious attempt at identity theft and is interstate, the FBI should be forced to get involved. Charge them with a CRIMINAL offense and throw them in prison instead of the FCC saying 'Naughty - naughty, now go out and play nice'. (Prosecute them in criminal court instead of civil penalties).If you want to stop these calls then you need to dry up their revenue source. Your phone company is charging you a fee for Caller ID. Your phone company pays the scammer for sending their Caller ID information. Your phone company pays only a fraction of a cent per call and you pay your phone company to have the Caller ID displayed. The scammers send out millions of calls which amounts to a significant amount of money however your phone company is charging a large amount to millions of customers. This may have something to do with the phone companies inability to stop these calls.In order to stop this we need legislation making it illegal to charge for caller ID. If a phone service wishes to operate it would need to provide the Caller ID at no charge as part of the service. Here is the $50,000 solution that the FCC is looking for and it doesn't cost anything.There is an excellent blog site that I found that explains how one company is getting away with this activity.http://telemarketerspam.wordpress.com

Here is a toll free # that actually work to call these a-holes back 1-+1 855-704-7348. I use it harass their a** they hate when this # gets out.

TIP: Instead of having 30+ entries of spam in your address book, just create one called !SPAM!Each time you get a call, google it to confirm it is spam, then add it to existing !SPAM! entry in your address book as HOME number. I currently have 30+ home phone numbers listed under my !SPAM! contact. I gave it its name so it shows up as first entry on my phone.

A robocall called me, and I pressed "1" to speak to the person.  She then asked me if I wanted to lower my interest rates, I said yes, and answered her questions. I eventually got to the point where I told her I'm on the Do Not Call list and she said "You a** wipe, I figured you weren't serious.  You can't do anything about me, I'm from Canada, you a** wipe". Of course, she hung up.  This has got to stop.

We're going about this all wrong.  What we need is a honing device that locates the exact location of the calls.  Then, just hit that location with a Cruise Missile.  In a few weeks, this crap would stop.
