Robocalls are a nuisance.
While registering your number on the Do Not Call list will protect you from legitimate telemarketers - it won’t help much with scam artists and fly-by-night robots. Consumer Reports has the following advice on how to play robocop with robocalls:
* If you pick up a robocall, hang up immediately. Pressing a number signals that the autodialer has reached a live number and can lead to more calls.
* Limit at least some unwanted calls by listing all of your numbers in the Do Not Call registry. Go to donotcall.gov or call 888-382-1222 from the number you want to register.
* If you have caller ID, record robocallers’ numbers and report them to the FTC via the Do Not Call registry. Your information goes into a database that can help regulators identify the sources of illegal robocalls.
