     It's a friggin' earthquake!! Those folks have to be deaf...or the    
   pulsing beat is the only thing they can comprehend.

     While the scammers are likely to change their numbers more than one   
   changes their underwear, I'm going to keep blocking those numbers. If   
   someone leaves me voice mail, and I recognize it as a legitimate call,   
   I'll put it in my contacts, then call them back. I wish there was a   
   utility to automatically deny an incoming call, unless it was in their   
   contacts..or if only the number (no name) shows up. Basically, it'd   
   send the call to voice mail.   
      
    JM>   The reason I even had it there was for the camera in case I saw   
    JM> something I wanted to get a shot of.  But even then waking up the   
    JM> phone, pushing the camera button and all whatever I wanted a picture of   
    JM> was already past.   
      
     That's usually the way it works (sigh!).   
      
    >   I've been getting slammed by all these fraudulent calls,   
      
    JM>   The problem with that is those people keep changing the number so if   
    JM> one is blocked they just use another number.   
      
     I'll just keep adding to the list. I figure if one number gets "freed   
   up", another scammer will just snag it. That's the same with website   
   domains...those that expire get snagged and redone for nefarious means   
   (i.e. made into a porn site).

   ... The number you've dialed...9-1-1...has been changed.
