"It's very frustrating to me because I'm in sales so I don't know if a customer is calling me or if it's, you know, one of the spammers. So, I'm missing calls now because I don't want to keep answering the phone for these random robocalls. So, it’s very frustrating," one person said.
How robocall blocking works
Matt Mizenko from Nomorobo, a company focused on blocking unwanted calls, explains how their technology works to identify and stop spam calls.
Nomorobo started in 2013 after it was entered into the FTC's robocall blocking challenge at the time. It won the competition as Best Overall Solution of blocking illegal robocalls.
General Manager Mizenko said, “We have a very large database. It's over 11 million numbers, I think, at this point in time.”
