The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

I started getting these car warranty calls last week. I can't not answer the phone. They have show up as number from NJ, CA, OH, FL, Connecticut. I hang up on it and I don't press 1 or 2 like the recording says. But they know the # is working they will keep calling. My phone # is on the dont call list. Is there no way to stop these calls?

Not really. I just add those numbers to my block list. Sure, they eventually get through using a different number but at least it makes them work harder to try to contact me.

It's pretty easy. The same method is used by the 'scam-baiters' to turn the tables on fake tech support/Amazon refund etc etc.

reading most recent reviews of the APP on Apple store , many says junk calls have increased after they install HIYA. I believe it.
