Ending Robocalls

I submitted a plan to end Robocalls (Google <Cormode> and <robotelestop>) to my Congressperson.  Her reply implied that I was the only person in her district that had this problem.  I suspect that most other congressional representatives are as ignorant as she is.

I am communicating to her about each of my robocalls so that she can appreciate the problem. 

If you are also bothered by Robocalls, here is what you can do:

Contact your congressional representative.

Go to <House.gov> and look for Representatives <click>, then find your own congressional representative, e.g., Eshoo <click>.  Find <Contact> and follow up <By Mail and Phone> 

or <By E-mail>.  Tell your Representative about receiving yet another robocall and give the basic information that you have gathered as below.

When a robocaller or telemarketer calls, find out what the name of the company is, note the caller's name, the time and date, and what they are asking for.

If you are on the Do-Not-Call registry, you should so inform the caller of that and listen to their excuses.  They often will promise to put you on their own do-not-call list and that works for a week or so.
