[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 2397917, member: 11234"] Don't bother trying to figure out where the "number" on the caller ID is. All of these companies use offshore servers that robo call people and "spoof" the caller ID, so when you block / report one number, they call 5 seconds later from another one. The smarter ones even use the area code and exchange of the number they call, so it looks like a neighbor or a friend and you're more likely to answer. So if your number is (123) 555-1234 the caller ID will say (123) 555-4312. You can always tell when you answer the phone, there's a moment of silence while the basement server in the Ukraine tries to find an Indian national with a gun to his head in a boiler room who isn't already on the phone trying to scam someone else. Either you get an answer after saying hello 3 times, or, the server can't find an open line and hangs up on you. Then calls you back from yet another number 3 seconds later. The ONLY solution is a whitelist. You have to be a contact to ring my phone. [/QUOTE]
