So it's been a few months and the robo-dialers seemed to be calming down; I hardly got bothered at all during April! But I've received 3 calls today alone from my latest May addition, 406-852-8377. They seem to be working through a block of the 8300 suffixes.
I'm wondering if these are now coming from internet phone numbers. It's just that easy to change out old numbers for new, and discard the "poisoned" numbers that aren't yielding connections anymore.
The sad part is they'll eventually throw away the poisoned numbers which will be recycled by the carrier or ISP. Some poor business or nice person will acquire it, only to discover that folks are blocking their brand new number due to the misbehavior of the number's predecessor.
So now, folks need to search for the new number online to see if it has a bad reputation, then demand a cleaner one from the phone provider. Let's make it the phone company's problem.
