Damn scammers

[johnridley]

We REALLY need to have the law changed to make caller ID masking illegal. This friggin' "Credit Card Services" scam has called me 3 times in the last year now. It was kind of fun at first wading through their phone system to a human, then seeing how fast they hung up when I asked for a phone number for their company (it's like they have their finger already on the hookswitch, that's how fast) but it's getting tiresome now.

What I'd REALLY like is for the caller ID, and for that matter, the opt-out list, to work for political campaigns too (robocallers) but that's never going to happen. Politicians would have to pass such a law.

You mean you want the service you've paid for (caller id) to actually work? I used that line with the phone company once when they tried to sell me some service that basically was caller id that worked 'better'.
