Scamming the scammers :)

I sometimes get around landline phone scammers ever trying again by doing this: I tell them that "I am interested but do not provide information or do transactions over the phone ... please mail me hardcoyy information in the mail to consider". This stops them dead in their tracks - if I want to take the time to talk to them - but I would never give them my mailing address, in any case. Our landline phone's built-in call blocking takes care of the rest of the phone scammers, so we now have minimum scammer calls on it.

By the way, I sure wish my good old Verizon flip-phone had a buttom on it for call blocking! Does anyone know how to do this with Verizon flip-phones?

Interestingly, the DW gets zero scam calls on her Android smartphone ... for some reason.

Now .................. if only I could stop the junk mail that has no relation to scam phone calls. Is there a national Do Not Mail List? :h
