2027381532 My call blocker blocks all calls from this area code- That is hundreds of possible numbers-Buy a call blocker for on amazon or ebay-google 'call blocker'- One ring and they are gone-Caller ID service is required for blockers-Learn to ignore bad phone numbers- Stop answering every call-If nobody answered, and nobody called them back, the scammers would go out of business-

2027381532 They are persistant- They will call again and again - I am going to try blocking their call- I know the government will not call me - they make contact thru the mail- The minute you tell them to go ahead and mail it to you they get angry and hang up- And further more why do they need to ask yor name and age, etc- if I have already been seleted- Of course I gve them ficticous info just to keep them talking, or should I say lying-
