Mikki Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 How do I stop robo calls? They are calling every 15 minutes. I found a post by Spencer from a few years ago, I tried what he recomended but that did not work! There is most likely a new number to call!

It doesn't stop them, but you get fewer and the numbers you have blocked are automatically disconnected.I don't answer any calls that aren't from contacts. Too risky IMO.

CHILLIN Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 You might see a sudden improvement. The U.S. goverment has launched a very aggressive programme to shut down these callers. They are typically based outside the U.S. but hire massive server time from U.S. carriers. These are what they are targetting, massive fines and even jail time for repeat offenders.

No, I am thinking most of these calls are routed through U.S. telephony servers. I am thinking Mexicans are too smart to buy stupid things over the phone from a stranger. Plus, the calls would have be in Spanish to have any effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I don't receive robo calls from the USA. I only receive them from Mexico and they are in Spanish. So US legislation will have no effect on robo calls in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, why would anyone receive calls of any fashion through the US to a Mexican number. The ones I have received are usually, but not always, CDMX, and always with MEXICAN Spanish speakers.

johanson Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I guess I am just lucky. I almost never get robo calls on my Mexican Telmex number which I have had since 1997 nor my Telcel # which I have had for maybe 15 years. In Seattle, I get about 2 or 3 per week on my landline # which I have had since 2006 and none on my Seattle Ooma (internet) phone which I take with me when I am in Mexico. No, I have not taken any special action to stop robo calls. For some reason, I almost never get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's because of my good credit bureau in Mexico. Insurance and American Express, plus BBVA & Telmex are a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
