I'm hoping they took everything from that they earned through these calls.

I wish they would find and jail the "your warranty has expired" robocalls.  I get at least one a week, and when I press one to talk to an agent to tell them to get me off their list I get 2 more in the same day.

I get those about 3 or 4 a month, and when I press 1 to talk to someone, they cut the call.

I never answer my phone if I don't recognize the number. If they want to talk to me so much then leave a message.

I usually don't either, but once in a while I do to ask about their "do not call" policy and never make it to that point.

Thats why I always use a 2nd phone number of mine which is never online, for all kind of registrations, purchases and others where I expect marketing calls. The number is conneted to a virtual answering machine and all sales fairies who call the number listen to this .

Environmental Safety International, run by Sean and Joseph Carney, and telemarketing company Carbo, run by Raymond Carney, were using the calls to sell cesspool and septic-tank cleaning products, the Justice Department said on Friday.

Unsure if that is a trick question.

[aztek]

what about 1st they? who do you hope should take all  robocall company  earnings?

Although they are slowly increasing I recon I get about one or two spam calls a month, which I don't answer as I don't answer calls from numbers not in my contacts list.
