robocall

If you thought your friends and family in other states were as fortunate (note: sarcasm) as you to receive so many robocalls, you can go ahead and think again.

I'll bet you've called one 800 number or other, signing up for a "national do not call list." You're probably still getting those annoying robocalls. To make matters worse, it now appears like they're calling from local numbers...

If you have ever been inconvenienced by one of those annoying phone calls that offer a "free cruise," here's your chance to get payback—literally.

It's time we all fight back. Here are some tips to combatting the robocalls.

No means no — on a date and when it comes to telemarketing.

Remember a few months ago when we warned you about a possible identity theft phone scam that originated with a phone call from this number,(202) 480-5280? Well it looks like the bad guys are back and they have a new number they are using to get your information. That number is (312) 765-7460.

Have you recently received a call from (202) 480-5620, only to hear a "ship's horn" and a message from your "captain" claiming that if you take a short survey you will receive to free boarding passes for a wonderful cruise?
