If you’ve taken the time to read our tips<\/u><\/span> here at CyberGuy to keep phone scammers at bay, good for you. One of these tips is to put your phone number on the national and state Do Not Call list.<\/span><\/p>\n However, you might find that you’re still getting calls from scammers. This is because the Do Not Call list primarily targets legitimate telemarketers and has limited effectiveness against scammers and illegal robocallers who often ignore the list.<\/p>\n This is what happened to one of our newsletter subscribers who told us that even though she took the time to put her number on that list, she still receives many annoying calls. “I repeatedly tell them to remove my number and stop calling, but they continue to call,” she said. <\/p>\n She noted that caller ID<\/span> indicates that these phone calls are coming from spoofed phone numbers. Even though she blocked these numbers too (another tip to ward off scammers), they’d call back from another number. So, why is this permitted? And how come being on the Do Not Call list is not enough? Let’s thoroughly answer this once and for all.<\/p>\n GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS – SIGN UP FOR KURT\u2019S NEWSLETTER – THE CYBERGUY REPORT HERE<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
