Junk calls on my cell phone

Lately I’ve had a spite of junk calls on my cell phone. It looks like other people have been getting them too.

802-763-2141

Recording for auto warranty expiration–I’ve received similar calls from 4-5 different numbers, once per day, for the past 2-3 weeks.

617-479-8874

Seemed to be a recorded message with poor reception; referencing a warranty for my vehicle; offered options to press 1 for more info or 9 to terminate the call.  Pressed 9.

I actually take the time to report these to the FCC. Once, I got a letter from the FCC saying that they investigated my claim and found the person responsible. Neat!

    I’ve been getting calls like this for a while now, as well as at home. The latest batch are obvious phishing scams, saying that I’ve been preselected for a loan. I report each and every one to the FCC… then block the number.
