Stir/Shaken

[jjp8182]

Not saying your spammer is a liar, but it seems it would be easier to just use an autodialer and let it go.

It probably would, but I wouldn't be surprised if part of the intent was just to make crank calls as much as it was to scam -- in which case the people most likely to be annoyed are those that registered their numbers as "do not call"

Though with all the different sorts of people there are

It's been 9 days since Stir/Shaken was activated. Since then have only gotten 1 scam call. Anybody else notice a reduction?

 

[jjp8182]

Nope, if anything I had a massive increase in spam/unknown callers & texters this week compared to weeks prior....

I still get crap.

My home phone was killed by lightning yet again, so I don't know if anybody is calling here. I had two on my cell phone yesterday... as soon as I hung up on the first one it began ringing again from a different number.

Today 6/30/2021 could be the end of Robocalls!

The end of Robocalls did not happen. The Stir/Shaken technology designed to curb the flood of robocalls arrived in 2021. But the struggle continues.

Do you REALLY think the major phone companies want to limit spam calls. They add $$$ to their bottom line. Their lawyers probably analyzed the laws requirements and found a work around the law that still let calls go through.

Come on folks. Follow the $$$.

Didn't work. Got one an hour ago. But.... I have noticed that the amount of calls have dropped way down. Used to get 4 or 5 a day. Now I'm getting just a couple a week.

I still get at least 5 per day. Auto warrantee is the biggest.

I think you are onto the right approach here. WHY?

I went from one cell provider that typically got 5 to 8 robo or spam calls per day on my number. Switched to another cell provider and brought over my OLD number that got those calls.

GUESS what, 3 months going and only 2 calls in that entire 90 days.

So, I do think those cell companies are indeed get paid on the sly, no different than advertising across the web.

I see how Diggin It took matters into his own hands and has a nearly call spam free life now. See page-1 in this thread.
