I've been getting a solicit call almost every day! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MrCleveland · 11-28-2018, 02:05 PM

Almost every day, I've been getting a different number...but the same guy who's probably from Pakistan or India.

It's in the Cleveland area and why is this guy bugging me?

What is he saying?

The cops can't really do anything about telemarketers! ! They are annoying but not breaking the law!

I get these calls too but they go to my answering machine.

Same with me!! Just about every call I get on my land line is a solicitation call . All personal calls come to my cell. I never pick up the landline so all these calls go to the answering machine . Doesn't really bother me, I'm used to it I guess! ?

You should get something such as a do not call list or Nomorobo.

He's a scammer. Don't give him anything. I had one of those calls and he disabled my computer. Had to get a new one.

There is not much you can do with telephone solicitors/telemarketers, but to ignore them or do what I do, block them.

Calling the cops? What can they do? Especially if the telemarketers are calling from a foreign country? Absolutely nothing.

I used to get these unwanted scam calls but I was able to fix it, I programmed my phone number to accept calls only from specific phone numbers, so now I only get calls from people that I know, people that I want to talk to. All other calls are blocked, they do not go through and the caller gets a reject message.

I would like to do that. It is so frustrating for the phone to ring, you look at caller Id and you know it's a call you don't want to pick up.

Most calls that I get are from numbers that I don't recognize. I don't bother to answer those calls anymore.

MrCleveland · 12-02-2018, 02:40 PM

I got one again for funeral plans...another scam call from India!

I wish I can tell him what I think of him! Why do those *******s HAVE to call me?

I've been getting calls from these Chinese scammers every morning since this summer from multiple numbers. They're all automated and say "JP Morgan" and then start speaking in Chinese.

I'd really like to have my way with telemarketers / phone scammers in a Hostel room.
