Default Junk : Legitimate Phone Calls - Your Ratio ?

Last week, I did a count of one day's calls and wound up with five junk
calls to one legitimate call.

Is anybody keeping track ?

If so, what's your ratio ?


I'm not keeping track and also have VoIP and land line phones.

My land line is listed under my name with Sr and I'd say over 90% of the
calls are junk. I figure thieves particularly go after seniors.

VoIP phone, with caller ID, I'd say at least 50% junk.

What really ****es me off is that the phone company and government must
know where these calls are coming from but don't do anything about it.

Sure, most are out of the country but they could do something like block
them or send them back a virus to destroy their computers.

I'm sure I will never see and ISIS terrorist but these phone and
internet criminals try to break in my house every day.
