Robocall Abuse Has To Stop!
To the Editor:
Phone Abuse ... Robocalls! This abuse of our telephone system needs to stop and be regulated.
Reinstate the “No Call” list that will also apply to robocallers.
This is a partial list of calls I received on August 23. It started at 8 am but I did not start jotting down numbers and times until later. This was a light day. Usually, I receive between 13-18 calls a day and some after 6 pm.
This is happening to me daily and this was a minor day. Here are the calls I received:
406-325-1071 —12:40
737-281-0857 — 1:45
920-804-1173 — 1:58
203-445-4279 — 2:45
769-297-1218 — 2:57
203-445-9411 — 2:59
203-422-7517 — 3:09
854-237-1882 — 3:12
414-943-1290 — 3:31
203-458-2826 — 3:32
203-419-4414 — 3:45
930-273-1258 — 4:15
Today, August 25, was horrendous with over 18 calls to my number, starting at 8 am. I am writing you in hopes that if enough people complain, we can get this system regulated.
I am a senior with medical issues.
What happens if I need medical assistance and my phone is tied up with a robo call that blocks me from making a call for help?
