Re: Are there better ways to delete persistent incoming spam calls?

Jim, you¡¯re arguing semantics.?

If I misrepresent myself, is that proper? Say over value my property to get a better loan. Spoofing is also a misrepresentation.?

Regulation is one thing, but prosecution is a whole different thing. Many, but not all, scam call come from Pakistan. US law enforcement and legal system have no power in Pakistan. So they cannot regulate those calls, stop or even slow them.?

And you are not getting replies on how to prevent your ¡°recent¡± call log to prevent them from showing, is because no one considers it important enough to do anything. There is no ¡°only list the call that are legit or I answer¡± option. I don¡¯t even think the services that prescreen your calls and block the suspect ones or at least prevent them from ringing offer that option.?

You keep asking this every month or two, and the answer doesn¡¯t change.?

Jim, look up and read the?Telecommunications Act of 1996. There is less illegal act happening than what you think.

I didn¡¯t suggest the smarmy incoming calls were all ILLEGAL. I DO contend that telecommunications system regulatory code that DOESN¡¯T make it illegal to ¡°borrow¡± (read ¡°steal¡±) use of legitimate phone numbers for nefarious or misleading purposes is missing some pretty important line items.

And, I¡¯d maintain that the international nature of telephone communications systems should NOT cripple any individual country¡¯s ability to regulate things within its own borders. Textbook example of THAT (actually an example of how one country CAN compel another to change things) is the EU¡¯s knife to the heart of Apple¡¯s chosen port for charging iPhones (and, by extension, keyboards, TV remotes, pointing devices, and a bunch of other hardware).

But, ?my question was a practical one, and I¡¯ve not received responses that suggest there¡¯s any programmatic way to prevent an endless accumulation of bogus incoming calls in my ¡°recents¡± list.
