'One Ring' Phone Scam

Put your number on the National do not call registry. It doesn't stop all calls, but in my experience, it greatly reduces them.

This isn’t the case anymore. There is currently no real enforcement mechanism in place for the registry, so even a number on the registry will get many robo calls a day now.

This works well for good actors, but it’s a nicely packaged list of active numbers for the bad ones.

Probably doesn't hurt. By most reports, it helps little.
