So you want to "block" calls from a faked number ?!?

( do you have a good program to select lotto numbers?? :-)

On my cell phone, I have my ringer turned off and it only vibrates, so I 
get a chance to see the number calling.

If the number has already been logged into my phone, then it has a name 
attached to it.

If no name is displayed, I do not answer. I will google the number to 
see if that number has a history. ( see http://800notes.com )

If you still have a landline, check with your provider to see if they 
offer call blocking.

Years ago, USWEST had call blocking, but a limited amount of numbers 
could be entered. ( after talking with them about this, they told me 
that they had limited space per home phone number to store blocked 
numbers. )

DNCR is NOT the enemy, SCAMmers use what ever number they think they can 
get away with to make bogus calls.

Until the NSA makes their data available to the public, SCAM callers 
will continue.
