That have a block function, if they don't leave a message I block them after two calls

If it's an obvious scam I block them right off the bat, or a caller I don't need to listen to due to the caller ID

there was a scammer that used four different phone numbers with the same caller ID and I had to block each in turn

My phone will only ring once if they try again

In a nearby town I found out there was a call center? that calls my cellphone constantly with the same area code and prefix from the same location but never leaves a message

I have around 120 numbers from that place blocked by now

It never ends

Since you have a "land line" I think you can report that to whatever phone company you have MatthewHatesTrump2 Nov 2019 #7
