One more item I=E2=80=99d like to add.  We use MagicJack for our =
landline number (we=E2=80=99ve had it for=20
nearly 35 years) and it only costs us $20/year plus lots of other =
plusses.  However, my point=20
is they (for free) challenge every incoming caller to =E2=80=9Cpush =
number ? to complete this call=E2=80=9D.  This=20
blocks the automated dialers and has been a real plus for us.

First, I think we all need to start telling congress to FIX THIS ISSUE =
or vote them out.  It would be easy to fix it, but they don't want to =
upset their campaigning.=20

There are lots of things you NEED to do to get *some* results.  First, =
register on the do not call list...=20
https://www.donotcall.gov/=20

Now, when you get a call.  DO NOT ANSWER IT--- EVER!!!!!!=20

If you don't know the number, DO NOT ANSWER- PERIOD.  If it's important, =
they will leave a message.=20

You can report calls to...=20
https://www.donotcall.gov/=20
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/Information#crnt=20
https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us=20

And often filing this is more of a hassle, but I have seen some types of =
calls stop.=20

You more than likely have a 'call blocking' option on the line =
(conveniently, there is a charge for this service in most cases.)  Use =
that for repeat callers.=20

NOTE TO PIXEL USERS (and I'm sure some other cell phone manufactures)  =
they have built in call blocking for free.=20

Don't forget, many of these are scam calls, so they do not play by the =
rules.  Best thing to do is to keep you number to yourself as best as =
you can (NEVER put it on a courtesy card or anything like that.)=20

Good luc...=20

Oh wait, my phone is ringing.=20
