Welcome to Telemarketing block list #16. If you’re new here, this is a list of phone numbers which attempted to spam, scam, or defraud the 60-Seconds telephone.

What happens is, the call is answered. If nobody is there, or it hangs up, or some telemarketer answers, then we record the number. We then call the number back, and get one of three responses: 1) it’s a dead number, disconnected, or 2) it’s the spammer, or 3) it’s an innocent phone owner who has been spoofed by the cyber criminals.

Here are the numbers that fulfilled 1 and 2 above since block list #15.

Note that some of these were SMS or TEXT spams. Now just copy the list and paste into your phone under “New Contact” …. and give it a recognizable name.

It’s as simple as that. There are new remedies coming along all the time, and we’re testing them as we see new ones that show promis. However, if you’ve blocked the number, the next time they use that number to call, it be blocked. We regularly get calls from call centers we blocked back early in this series. Today, in fact, we got one which was blocked in list #6.

Unfortunately there’s no help from the telephone industry because the carriers are making too much money. You’re on your own fighting telemarketers and spammers!

Always use good telephone etiquette

Has your telephone number been spoofed by Telemarketing cartels? Here’s what the FCC has to say about it.

If you think you’ve been the victim of a spoofing scam, you can file a complaint with the FCC.

Unfortunately, I’m being shadow banned by Medium, so see below for a full list.

Thanks for reading.

GRobocall block list #15, #14, #13, #12, #11, #10, #9, #8, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, and the original “Fight Back” post with an innovative “Fax” machine ploy. NOTE : We wave all responsibility for any numbers in this list that are decommissioned, and become working numbers for legitimate telephone subscribers. The Telephone company must assume all responsibility for allowing telemarketers to use an innocent subscriber’s number.
