I don't know who I want to stab in the face more, these robocall scumbags or Ajit Pai. That screencap is awful.
I also don't know how we stop this. The punishments need to be far more severe, obviously the risk is worth it right now for these companies.
Honestly, if we could remove the phone number as a mandatory info point on forms, I think I could get along in life fine without traditional voice calling.
Should not be so hard to make a captcha like software for phones
Pones software picks up but to no alert phone owner
Phone: Hi you are an unregonized caller. please type in what {Random number} plus {random number} is and end with {pound or star}
Robocall: THank you for chossing marioan hotel.....
Phone: you have not solved the Mathpuzzel. goodnight *hangs up*.
Optinaelle Phones send number to database that when its get enough reported numbers its reports it for investigation or just blocks it.
I've been wanting to make this for years but know zero about phone programming
off cause it would need a constans upgrade with new puzzles forms but i think ts could be fairly cheap solutions
- Please type in which order the color RED appers on the following list: green blue purple red orange blue
- Which of the following items are an tranprotaion device: 1-table 2-bicycle 3-microwave 4-Speakers
etc etc
Sadly, the simple easy solution is for all outgoing calls to incur a fixed cost, say 25 cents. Doesn't require high tech solutions. The average person doesn't make that many phone calls anymore and maybe the first 50 per month could be included in a cell/data plan. If a million spam calls start costing $250,000 to make, the numbers would go down a lot. Under the current anywhere for free calls are data setup, spam calls are essentially free to make as they consume very little data.
You make good points. Can anything be done? Or is this just the future, where we will eventually reach a point where every phone in the world rings constantly from the trillions of robo call centers that cannot be stopped?the problem is most calls don't originate from the usa, or at least not from a phone switch in the USA. So they can't fine them.
doesn't matter. They don't call based on that. I work at a telephone company and watch these types of calls coming in. At time they will call 555-555-1111 then 1112, then 1113. Or they will just call 100 random numbers at once. They call my test phones a few times a week that are numbers that have never been published and never been numbers used by anyone in the entire time telephone numbers have existed
they have stuff like that in a way. one of the services that I can offer my customers is a feature that when somebody calls before it rings their phone the caller has to state their name and hit a certain key, failing to do so would just end the call.
you must be a young child, per minute long distance is a thing. Everyone just started to go with unlimited which was good for the average user as it saves them money, but did open the door to stuff like this.
I have not really bothered with listening to them at all lately (just hang up on them, or don't answer).

Really? I'll be sure to include the /s for now on, just for you.I would prosecute you for the violence you're publicly advocating against a public official. Consider your post forwarded.

Alright fair enough, I apologize, but of course what's done is done. Immaterial, but I also do not like all the threats, I'm pretty happy with Trump but I do not like Pai so you got me there, but I didn't see my comment in the same vein. I perceived it directed toward the screencap that just looked awful, and the faceless robocallers that can't be approached anyway. Whole internet thing, wish I could stab you in the face comment, wasn't malicious. Personally, I believed my want to do x phrasing to be different from threats such as x better watch out, I'm going to do x, and everyone should make life hard for x. Suppose we gotta take everything serious these days, you never know.Fine. I'm tired of the acceptance of public threats against Trump, Trump supporters, or those in the Trump administration.
The /s is a copout. If you post a violent meme, a threat, or otherwise bring physical threats to the fore, you deserve to be investigated and prosecuted, if warranted. I'm happy to oblige.

It has about the same damn weight of someone say. "Man I'd kill for one of X product." Get over yourself. Otherwise you will be part of the 4th reich when they take over.
I wish all scam calls appeared to come from Ajit Pai's personal phone.
Wow. I think this is getting too political for front page, but I'll say this. I think your spot on. I agree the left would have gone bananas with a staged Obama head. It's quite the double standard. However, I'm not left leaning at all. I didn't call for, or advocate violence. It should have been funny, and a lot of people liked it, so maybe it was to some. It wasn't to you. I'll reflect on this and be more selective in the future, but let's not get you crazy and outright try to ban every potential phrase that you find threatening. That kind of restriction of speech is a lot more left thinking. I screwed up, but I'm no left wing anything.https://tips.fbi.gov/
Robespierre and the terror was the first step. Mob violence has since been adopted as a tactic by all left-wing tyrannists. The Marxist/anarchists, Communists, Socialists, NAZIs, all these left-wingers have used public violence and threat of it to "win the street". Media and social media is the new "street". The consistent left-wing attacks in public, in memes, in media, in "entertainment" are an assault on the rule of law and order. Every time a socialist makes a statement of violence about Trump or a Trump supporter, substitute the word "Obama" or "Michelle" for their target, and then imagine what the left-wing machinery would do to the individual who communicated such a threat. That bimbo "comedienne" who held a model of Trump's severed head? Imagine if that were done of Obama during his administration.
You're part of the problem if you post "stab him in the face".
This won't help at all as they simply auto dial ALL numbers. I highly doubt they follow some list, I'm sure they build one when someone picks up but initial calls are likely just random or incremental across all numbers.

This would be a good start, but it only takes one shady company in control of a phone number list to leak it to everyone, and your number will always be on some list.

I don't think you needed to apologize. That sentiment is real. Maybe he should stick to FOX news comments section if reality is too much for him.Wow. I think this is getting too political for front page....

I'm more interested in STIR/SHAKEN tech than just fining US companies who spoof. We desperately need a technology that certifies and verifies call authenticity.

I really hope someone figures this out soon, I've been getting 30-40 robocalls a week for years now. I have 443 blocked numbers and the list keeps growing. I found the best way is to never actively do anything, just let it go to voicemail.
If you think you're the morally upright one that would have REEEEEsisted and not become a Nazi in 1939 you think far too highly of yourself. You would do exactly what everyone else did, which was go along with it and not eat a lead sandwich.
No, it does not. It communicates a direct image of physical violence directed towards a specific individual.
If you cannot see the difference, you're an idiot.
If you see the difference but argue against it, you're a left-wing ideologue.
I'm glad to see that anyone that disagrees with you is either stupid or a communist. So if you disagree with me you must be a racist and a bigot right? Let's not make idiotic generalizations and then we can all get along and actually have a conversation. But not you though. I've already blocked you because I don't come here to deal with your brand of hatred.

How about you not do all of the things you just said and stop being a hypocrite and then we'll all work on it, yeah? So quick to call everyone else nazis but gets mad when anyone talks back about it. Amazing.
I set up a special extension for them at work, "666", where it just plays the phone ringing sound to them until they give up. I'm thinking about setting up one at home that just plays a random PornHub video at 1000% volume.I love scam calls. I like keeping them on the phone and playing dumb.
