Didn’t our fearless leader sign a law in Dec 2019 that was supposed to limit these calls? I recall him making a big deal about it.
“An anti-robocalls measure signed into law Monday by President Donald Trump should help reduce the torrent of unwanted calls promising lower interest rates or pretending to be the IRS, though it won’t make all such calls disappear.
The new law gives authorities more enforcement powers and could speed up measures the industry is already taking to identify robocalls. And when phone companies block robocalls, they must do so without charging consumers. This should help Americans dodge many of these annoying calls.
“American families deserve control over their communications, and this legislation will update our laws and regulations to stiffen penalties, increase transparency, and enhance government collaboration to stop unwanted solicitation,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said.”
It’s not working. (But we already knew that.)
I am getting similar calls and fight back a little by tying up their line, either by answering and hitting mute immediately or by placing the phone near the radio so their voice actuated software locks on. Usually they hang up in 60 seconds. That is 58 seconds longer than if I just answered and hung up.
