What I would like to find out is why this only started happening the past 12 months to me

I've had my number for 15 years. I always thought that do not call list worked because I never got telemarketer calls after I registered I think in 2007.

And all of a sudden starting last year, its 3 or 4 a day

Since they often use local area codes I have missed doctors office etc since I usually won't answer numbers I don't recognize

Yesterday I got 4 calls. One of them I almost didn't answer turned out to be tire rack about an order I placed

I guess this is just part of living in the modern age
