Agreed. I float 2-4x/month and can confirm that I sleep way better and generally have an increase in mood. I'd highly recommend it.

Reminds me of the “How I made $290,000 Selling Books” joke - https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/6ofdt6/how_i_made_29...

How would you treat calls where it's a sound board controlled by a human? Human or bot? If there's a way to get around the system, these guys will figure it out.

A better analogy that I use (especially with nontechnical folks) is the return address on an envelope. You can, technically, write anything in it and there’s no way to guarantee it…

Thanks! I really appreciate the support. These voice spam calls have gotten out of control.

We (Nomorobo) have a bunch of recordings of this type of scam. They're scary. https://nomorobo.com/lookup/844-386-9815

PureText does exactly that. Been using it for years and swear by it. https://stevemiller.net/puretext/

Especially since it loses the extra “O”. At least that’s how I remember the correct spelling.

Happy to talk about the landline product. Just for clarification, the mobile product works completely differently. 1. Yes, pretty much. Here's a more in-depth answer to what happen…

Even with all these high profile settlements, it's still not stopping the problem. Just today, we (Nomorobo) see 25 different numbers pushing Windows tech support scams. It's like …

I found that strange, too. Apple made it seem like it was China only but it's not. Those features of CallKit are what we (Nomorobo) use to stop the robocalls.

Completely agree. For the carriers, robocall blocking is not a technical problem, it's a legal/liability one. This makes third party call blocking products a better/easier solution…

We updated the app based on that feedback. We used to show "unblockable" because there was a problem with false positives. Lots of families had sequential numbers that were acciden…

Actually, the FCC clarified their rules a few years back that carriers CAN block robocalls. More details here: https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/fcc-clarifies-robocal... Note …

Agreed. We (Nomorobo) stopped seeing calls from them around the same time. They were also known as 33 wireless and a few related companies. Here's an old discussion about them [0] …

We (Nomorobo) protect you from both neighbor spoofing as well as "standard" robocalls. We add over 1,300+ new robocaller numbers every day. It's pretty crazy out there.

They are absolutely targeting cities with large Asian populations. It's not random. This is the breakdown for incoming calls to the Nomorobo honeypot for 4/1/2018-4/23/18 that have…

This is a recording from their number at the end of last year - https://www.nomorobo.com/lookup/212-244-9392 I’ll run some stats on 212-244 numbers in a few.

Yep. No idea either. Is this a legit message? https://www.nomorobo.com/lookup/212-244-9392 I’ll run some stats in a few.
