I'm getting several a day, sometimes 2 an hour. Also, what the **** is the point of blocking a # if they can still leave you a voicemail?

The people behind these should be put up against the wall.

This is a huge peeve of mine. I'd like to know the answer as well.

I haven't necessarily noticed an uptick, but I sure get annoyed by the volume I get. I wish all of those people would get a doorknob shoved in their mouth.

For some reason our caller ID at work has started identifying them, and it'll say things like "Spam Caller". I think an employee mentioned one coming in and the caller ID said "Illegal Scam" or some such thing. I appreciate that.

We had some foreign scummy company that called us multiple times a week for a while. We probably got 40 or 50 calls from them. They would lie and say they were calling about a project to try to get different people on the phone, so I presume they'd looked at our web site to identify prospects. I don't think they were a scam, but they were just a very aggressive company that wanted us to hire them. One day near the holidays, I was the only person in the office and they called yet again. With the advantage of having no coworkers to overhear, I unleashed every bit of anger I have about the world on that woman. I let her have it nonstop for about three minutes in the manner of US Marines on Okinawa spraying a flame thrower into a cave. They haven't called since.

I was receiving dozens of robo calls per day for years on end.

In late January, I'd had enough and activated Nomorobo and since then, I've had two robo calls slip through.

As someone who works from home, I finally have back my peace of mind, as the calls were non-stop.

I bet all of the calls were sales calls from Nomorobo.

For me the Chinese language robo-calls have at least stopped.
