Scam calls and robocalls

[Peebo]

I have had it…if it’s not scam calls from some robot voice calling to say the IRS is after me for fraud…then it’s these @&%$^$ robocalls continually hounding me…I think I’ve had 40 or more already today and it’s only 3.30…that national do not call registry is about as useless as tts on a boar hog…surely it’s time the govt. got serious about this invasion of our privacy…we get these from around 7.30am til around 9pm…and just as I’m writing this the phone is ringing again…aaarrrggghhhhhh

Very likely it’s NOT an accident. Sign up on the do not call website. If you’d signed up on that take screenshots of the log and go on the FCC reporting page.

My guess is that you ticked someone off and they put your number in a site that then sells the number. It’s so common at the college I work at when students have a bad break up they get new numbers because they will have their number in a spam database or on craigslist or whatnot.

Have you tried googling your number?

my home phone service gave me the option for signing up with the “Nomorobo” service any i use “Hiya” on my cell phone. neither eliminated the problem but there is a noticiable difference in the amount of trash calls that get through
