Block scam calls

I am getting International Scam Calls From Number 264 583 8144. How do I block these calls?

I've got the same issue with number-spoofed computer-dialed phone calls. I just got call #240 a few minutes ago, and that makes three today. I can tell you that these creeps work from 8:54am to 7:52pm, Monday through Saturday (and rarely on Sunday), and they really hit heavy around Christmas and tax season. That "block 5 numbers for 90 days" thing is a joke since these guys change their numbers every few days. It doesn't even block it for 90 days in the first place, the last time I updated my blocks for the most recent five numbers used, the pop-up said it'd only be good for three days. Sure enough, it expired in three days, and those same five numbers didn't miss a chance to start harassing me again. The FTC and Do Not Call don't do much either. If anything, I've gotten more calls since I started reporting numbers regularly.

    For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
    The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs.  That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
    So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

  • Scam call

    Hello
    I just received a scam call from
    hlp.urgent.alm.10, it came up as NOTIFICATION(tm) URGENT ...
    It was an automated message telling me that my computer was infected (or something like that). It told me to log into [invalid URL]
    I received the call at 9:43am, PST.
    This is just an FYI

    Robocallers like that are breaking the law.  I used to constantly get calls from this phone number in Washington State that was being run by people who only speak Spanish.  It's all a scam and it's crazy.  There has also been a charity organization that I believe would stop at nothing to continue calling me and ignores my requests to be put on their "do not call" list.  It's harrassment. they don't care, and they get away with it.
    Seriously, try nomorobo.com.  It's not failproof but ever since I added it to my phone service, it has made a huge difference and things have calmed down a lot.  Even if some phone numbers from these scammers fall through the cracks, it's very easy to report them to nomorobo and I have found that I will stop receiving calls like that quickly.  I even reported this caller from a blocked private line and that stopped as well.  We all deserve peace of mind.

  • So many spam / scam calls

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if anyone else gets as many spam or scam calls as I do.  They can tally up to five times a day, with three rings while I'm doing something important.  I get them even though I am on the Do Not Call list, and while I report them, they still keep calling.
    I'm considering just dropping the residential phone service in favor of my cell phone because it's gotten so bad as of late.  As a student, I hate getting these calls when I'm studying for finals especially. Hopefully Verizon will act on the part of the consumer and add some filtering software into their network, or up the blocked call # entries.  It's a shame to see that I can only add 10 out of the 100 or so numbers on my caller ID to that list.

    Thanks for the response Anthony.  Luckily I was able to solve this problem very easily, but not in the way you suggested.  In fact, I already did what you did, and said that in my original post.  Donotcall.gov doesn't work well at all, even though it is the legit route to go.
    Instead, I forwarded my Verizon number to my Google Voice number and the spam calls dropped overnight.  All you do is sign up for an account, get a phone number, and link it to your Verizon number.  While you have to give up your landline # for the most part, all calls have the ability to be filtered.  Optionally, if you sync your contact information with your Google account (through Mac Address Book or similar), you can set groups or individual people to be filtered.  They even have a universal spam filter.  You can see voicemails by logging into your Google account, and block spammers if they happen leave a message.  All messages are transcoded so that you can read them, perfect if you are in a meeting or class.
    Hope this helps others.

  • I am recieving calls from a solicitor. Show up as no caller Id. I want to block all calls that do not show caller Id. Can I do that? I am on the do not call list

    How do I block all in coming calls that do not show on my caller Id. Phone says "no caller id" This particular call is from a place selling septic tank cleaner. They leave an automated voice mail. They are calling me over and over. I am on the national do not call list but that's no help. Because the caller id doesn't show anything I can't even report them.
    I remember in the past calling a number and before my call would go thru I would have to enter my phone number so the party I was calling knew who was calling them. That is what I want to do. I want to block all calls from "no caller id" "number unavailable" Just FYI my phone is an IPHONE 5 and I am on Verizon.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

        itbitybob, good day!

  • How can I block 'no caller id' calls from contacting me?

    Over the last couple of days someone has got a hold of my number, and has been calling me with a private number. I want to know if there is a way I can block all calls on my phone that come from a private 'no caller ID' number, and only allow ones that have a caller ID through. I have tried contacting my service provider Telstra which they said the most they can do is put me on the do not call register (which doesn't help my situation at all, as the person isn't a telemarketer). Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix my problem?
    Thanks.
    (I have an iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1 and my service provider is Telstra Australia)

    There is no Third Party App you can load onto an iPhone that will be allowed to take over your iPhone's Phone without jailbreaking your device (which cannot be discussed here nor would I ever recommend doing it).
    One feature you can use is the Do Not Disturb feature.  You can set it to allow calls from your Favorites then add all of your people to your favorites, but that is not quite what you are asking for.

  • Blocking ole call

    Is there a way to do a "blocking ole call", i.e. making the calling code stop until the ole-application has exited? I start Word and load a document and then do stuff the file after the user has exited.
    I tried using a blocking host command with callback on the document but it had an annoying cmd windows always visible and I would like to avoid digging into the registry to find the word executable.
    BTW: what is the difference between OLE2 and CLIENT_OLE2?

    client_ole is the implementation of OLE interaction
    in WebUtil. When moving your apps the Web, all
    previous client-server ole calls would occur on the
    server. With attaching WebUtil and a simple search
    and replace action you can make it work on the Web
    then. I am misunderstanding something or aren't the 9i/10g OLE2 calls already happening on the client? At least the stuff I have tried with OLE2 pops up the application on the client and not on the AS-machine.
    From teh top of my head, I think that the host
    command in WebUtil allows you to do host command
    calls on the client without popping up a DOS window.Yes, but the problem is that i need the window (I run the filename and let windows take care of the rest through extension association), but I would just like to make it more invisible to the user.

  • Block Unknown Call / SMS

    Everything that I have read suggests the you cannot block individual 'spam' calls or text .. is this is the case, it's not acceptable.
    I have a Blackberry Z30 .. there MUST be a way to block individual calls or text. You can on other makes of phones so why not a Blackerry Z30. You can block all calls, but that's a little overkill.
    I have been a loyal user of Blackberry phones over the past 6 years, if this cannot be resolved soon, when my current contract is up, I will be switching to another make ..
    Please advise ..
    Thanks

  • How can I block unwanted calls? (Besides Do Not Call List)

    We just moved into our new home and have Verizon's home phone service (and everything else). In less than the month we've been here we've been BOMBARDED by HUNDREDS of solicitors! Half are non-profits, half biz/telemarketers.They're all unwanted (I don't even do charities over the phone). I've never been so overwhelmed with unwanted calls before! (Must be a California thing? We just moved here from Seattle). Our number is on the National Do Not Call registry, but of course that doesn't stop the non-profits, charities and politicians from calling (they're excluded). Nor does it stop the ones who just don't care. I see that Verizon no longer provides the option of blocking unwanted numbers, and it also discontinued the Do Not Disturb feature. There used to be other options from many of the various phone providers to block all calls except those on a pre-approved list of your choosing. Why aren't these options available to us anymore???
    I'm thinking... with all this advanced technology...  there MUST be some way to block all those unwanted calls!!??!!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hello rednorsk
    There are a couple of options, including one that is on done through your account online, or by calling customer service and requesting the block.  Customer Service can tell you how many of these blocks can be done for free, and whether you will need a specific plan to cover more.
    Here is a thread on just your issue.

  • Use Chains, or PL/SQL Block of calls.

    I currently have a half dozen cron jobs that kick off different batches of processing. Originally, these were generally a sequence of C programs that did different operations (fetch student info from student record system and load into IdM system, process directory changes, etc). Over the years, most of the program logic has been rewritten as PL/SQL packages and the cron jobs basically drop into SQL*PLUS and do things like:
    prompt "Do Spbpers delta"
    execute simon.employee_maint.Spbpers_Delta;
    commit;
    prompt "Do People.Update_From_Employees"
    execute simon.People_Maint.Update_From_Employees;
    commit;
    prompt "Do SGBSTDN_Full"
    execute Simon.Bstudent_Maint.Sgbstdn_Full;
    commit;
    prompt "Do SPRIDEN_Full (Student)"
    execute Simon.Bstudent_Maint.Spriden_Full;
    These procedures generally connect to other Oracle databases and get or push data around, and are hitting a number of different databases. The biggest of these scripts has 45 execute statements in it. (This script started in 1992.....)
    Anyway, we are getting some issues with and it is time to clean things up. This is my first foray into Scheduler and I am hoping to get some philosophical guidance on how best I should restructure things. One obvious thing, is to break up the big script into a couple of smaller ones. In some cases, order matters and in other, it doesn't - although I would prefer not to have several jobs hitting the admin system at the same time.
    I have been playing a bit with the scheduler, mostly via the EM web interface, and have come up with a few questions - some pretty specific, others more stylistic.
    1) Procedures as jobs - it seemed to want stand alone procedures, and NOT procedures that were part of a package. True?
    2) How fine grained should I make the steps in a chain? For example, I call 5 procedures in the same package (student_maint), each to to some specific aspect of the processing (each represents a different source table). Should I create 5 programs, and make them 5 steps in the chain, or just have 5 calls in a PL/SQL block in one program?
    3) I don't care what order these 5 run in, but I don't want more than one running at once - thoughts on approaches to this?
    4) I will on occasion want to turn off sets of these tasks (like when the remote system is going to be down for an upgrade) - how best to structure things to make this easy to do (and how do I do this?)
    The Scheduler system seems to be a very rich and flexible environment, with a lot more options and features than I need, but I feel I should do more than just scheduling a single program with 45 procedure calls in it....

    Hi,
    I can try to answer some of these questions
    1) Procedures as jobs - it seemed to want stand alone procedures, and NOT procedures that were part of a package. True?
    False. The EM interface does have this restriction, but if you use dbms_scheduler directly there is no such restrisction. Even in the EM interface you can workaround this by using a PL/SQL block which calls the package procedure (although argument handling is a little less flexible this way).
    2) How fine grained should I make the steps in a chain? For example, I call 5 procedures in the same package (student_maint), each to to some specific aspect of the processing (each represents a different source table). Should I create 5 programs, and make them 5 steps in the chain, or just have 5 calls in a PL/SQL block in one program?
    The answer to this depends on what you are doing. If the 5 steps run serially one after the other, using one pl/sql block may be easier. If you want some pieces to run in parallel, then creating a simple chain is better. A bit more effort spent setting up the chain will result in much faster execution times if you can run pieces in parallel.
    3) I don't care what order these 5 run in, but I don't want more than one running at once - thoughts on approaches to this?
    This has come up on the forum a few times and there are basically two different approaches. One is to use dbms_lock to ensure that only one runs at a time. This is the easiest way and the way that I recommend.
    The other way is to set up a job class with a resource consumer group and put into effect a resource consumer plan that specifies that only one session from that resource consumer group can run at a time. This is easily extensible to cases where you want 2 or more running at a time from a certain job class (which dbms_lock doesn't support).
    Code on how to set this up and more discussion is located here
    Run Jobs One After Another
    4) I will on occasion want to turn off sets of these tasks (like when the remote system is going to be down for an upgrade) - how best to structure things to make this easy to do (and how do I do this?)
    Jobs and programs can be disabled. But if a job or chain tries to run a disabled program it will result in a failure (though it will be retried if you say that the job can be restarted).
    [ 5) ] The Scheduler system seems to be a very rich and flexible environment, with a lot more options and features than I need, but I feel I should do more than just scheduling a single program with 45 procedure calls in it....
    The Scheduler was intended to accommodate a wide range of usage from simple one-off background tasks to complex sequences of interrelated tasks. As with any other software development you should use it in the simplest way possible that does what you need it to do.
    Hope this helps. Feel free to post any further questions.
