I have one phone number this week that I will not post here. It’s the telephone number of a telemarketing victim.

There were five robo calls incoming this morning between 9am and 10:30am, and I was calling them back to see if they were spam. I call every spam caller back. All turned out to be disconnected numbers, except one, which was answered by what sounded like an elderly lady. She had no idea what was going on..

“I’m returning a call that came from this phone number, and if you didn’t make the call, then it was a telemarketer ‘spoofing’ your number!”

She replied “Oh my, so, that’s what’s been going on!” She was very nice, and we ended the call with cordial goodbyes. She was a victim of telemarketing — and it’s a real shame that the telephone companies allow this to go on. I learned that she had been harassed all day from people calling to complain.

So, here’s our BLOCK LIST #9
