Okay this is getting ridiculous...

Do any of you guys constantly receive spam phone calls to your cellphone? I literally get phone calls almost every day, mostly from the same numbers. Most of the time, I cannot answer the phone calls because they call me during my working hours, but when I call back, they acknowledge that they are "spammers" and even will even give you the option of "taking your number off of their list," which is a joke, because they will still call you after you do so! Further more, there was a national, "do not call list" which I did sign up for and I'm still getting these damn calls. Do you guys have any advice for ways I can finally put an end to this?? Or maybe a creative way I can "stick it to them"? Thanks!!

there have been two numbers in the past few days:

(503) 468-5227
(253) 246-8599

there was a third number that was calling me a couple weeks ago, but i didn't save the number and it has been erased from my iphone's memory of recent missed calls...

Yes 503 and 541 are Oregon. We keep getting spam calls from 602 lately.

Use this and get the owner's name and address: Call Owl
(503) 468-5227's only been searched once, (Astoria, Oregon) by me just now. Enter it into your search and when the result comes up there's a chance to enter the complaint on the bottom of the page. Same result for (253) 246-8599 (Kent Washington).

I didn't enter the complaints b/c ethically it wasn't me. Have at it.
