Robocall Increase!

Well, something has happened and it ain't good

We have caller ID and never answer an unknown number due to scammers and robocallers. Typically, we'd get 1-2 per day, sometimes more, never less. Most of the time they were spoofed numbers from my area code.

Then, Jan. 1st came along and we are getting calls every 10 minutes or so, all from sources with no numbers, ie. "Incoming Call." These calls are starting at 7 am and go on until nearly 9 pm.

A quick check reveals that the new federal legislation applies to calls that can be identified by number but now all the calls are unidentifiable by my caller ID and, I suspect, by the phone company's as well. I am assuming the robocallers have shifted their tactics for a last ditch assault on the public and now only use hidden numbers.

Anyone else notice the major uptick and annoyance? I have had three robocalls since I started this post. I have reset my call blocker to block any call without a number, but it still rings once to identify that a call has been attempted.

I hate robocallers!
