Spammers spoofing my home phone number - Grumpyguy - 01-25-2019

My cell rang the other day, it said it was home calling. (We have a land line at home). I answered it, and it was that robotic voice announcing my Windows license was expired.... I now get this spamming of my home phone at least 3 times a day now.


So how in the hell are they doing this? I can't well block my home phone number (Tongue). Anything I can do to stop this?

Murder is never an option. I suggest waterboarding.

Happens to me too. They spoof with my cell phone. I had a VERY angry gent call me at 11PM one night telling me he was going to kill me if I ever called him again. He hung up befor I could explain.

Welcome to 2011.
I personally like the Fargoesque wood chipper option.

Just remember to feed them feet first into the chipper. Head first would be too good for a spammer.

I use RoboFence to help block spam. I've made many, many entries. Hopefully, this will help you.
