Service providers (LECs & IXCs) will need to step up their game (assuming the want) to actually block Spam calls. The FCC offered some tips to consumers when they do receive a robocall:
Don’t share. Do not provide any personal information to anyone who calls you unexpectedly. Be aware. Telephone scammers are good at what they do and may use real information to gain your trust and imply that they work for a company you trust. Use Caller ID. Criminals might use “spoofing” to deliberately falsify the information transmitted. Double-check. If you think it might be a legitimate call, hang up and call the company with which you have an established business relationship using a phone number from a previous bill or on their website. File a complaint with the FCC.I have been on the Federal and State Do-Not-Call list (like most sensible people) since it was first made available. I also file a complaint with the FCC...guess what? They still happen and those lovely text messages as well. https://www.consumerreports.org/robocalls/fcc-moves-to-block-car-warranty-robocalls-a5944664470/
