Robo-Calls

The Do Not Call list doesn’t work For scammers still get through. I answer, feeling like a jerk, But what is there to do? My house phone has no way to check Just who is on the line. (You see, I’m really not hi-tech; I guess the fault is mine.) But still, there has to be a way To stop those robo-calls. It puts a damper on my day And sometimes even galls. A voicemail on my husband’s phone Said he must call right back Or else in jail he would be thrown, An interesting tack. We’ve heard it all so did not fret At tactics they’re employing, A price we pay for life today – yet, Still, it’s so annoying!

We haven't had a land line in a few years now but they're still sending e-mails. I wanted to block e-mails from my own address but don't have the option, so I just have to delete them all. Very annoying indeed!!....Great write Ilene!!

Oh it is SO infuriating thee are so many scammers around preying on the vulnerable - they can be so convincing:-( You need caller ID so you know who is calling - we also registered with a telephone preference service but they still get through. Since 2016 cold canvas calling is illegal on our island so i just tell them they are liable for a £2000 fine ... they soon put the phone down!:-) hugs Jan xx
