Ive gotten several this week. The person who previously had my office phone was hard Christian Right.
This is DONALD Trump just days after the election there was an orchestrated effort to anoint a winner.... corrupt ....fraudulent votes....Im asking for your support.
Heavy dark voice - the radical liberal left ....blah blah blah.

(2,580 posts)but I get 1-2 calls a day anyway. It's just blanket robocalls, last chance to cash in for the Trump gang. Lawsuits give them an excuse so expect them to continue regardless of merit.

My office phone automatically forwards to my cell in case we completely shut down again.

(36,469 posts)It is my belief they are originating from India, but it's near impossible to confirm because the scammers have telephone number spoofing down to a science.

It was either donate - 3 or unsubscribe- 7. 7 was chosen.

(36,469 posts)First of all, unsubscribing does not unsubscribe you, plus if you press unsubscribe, you number will be harvested and sold to another scammer, with a tag, 'will respond'.

(1,157 posts)This had been going for several days and i finally told them to stop it. I don't know how they got me on any contact list. I am vociferously anti-Rethug.

The only way to stop them is to waste their time by engaging with a human on the other end.
Either make small talk or just do what I do, place the phone on speaker, put the phone on mute, press the button, and listen to the person say, "Hello, Hello, Hello?" This will take a few times, but eventually they'll get the hint and pull your number. My kids play music and talk in the background until they hang up. My youngest will ask them all kinds of questions and waste their time for minutes.

Trump needs your help right now.
THEY are trying to steal from you.
