pomakis I assume you use the do not call list as i do i renew it on occasion. Also do the reverse lookup and from there you can report spam & robo calls. I had on really bad one so i kept doing the reverse thing for about a month and it finally quit. Middle of night calls they received lots of nice words from me.
