6. I have a call blocker thingy on my landline

and just program the whole (area code)-(exchange) to block many of those repeat "Police Association" scam calls. And it was already pre-programmed to refuse "Unknown Caller" and "Out of Area" numbers. I also had to use it block out the RW loon RNC, NRSC, and NRCC calls. So satisfying to know they are getting the hangup.

I do have a Comcast triple-play line too that still gets that crap but I have that line connected to my printer/scanner/fax machine, so when it answers, it gives the caller the old "beeeeppppp...boooooppp....bssssshhhhhh....skwwwweeeee..."
