Sorry ChristineK_VZW, but robo calls are Not called from different numbers.  Calls made over a digital product have "source information" and "destination information".  Robo/Computer dialers change part of the source information which contains the Caller ID to make you think the call came from a local area code.  The rest of the source information contains private data that identifies who is actually making the call and that is what Verizon and AT&T are hiding.  This is the information we demand be available to the public so these scammers can be arrested.

Can you really believe we can send two robots to Mars, drive them around, take pictures and send the pictures back to Earth, but yet, Verizon cannot tell us who is making the calls?  If so, I have beach front property in Arizona I would like to sell you.

When I was with AT&T, I talked to an engineer who confirmed the 'source information' and he said it was flagged as 'private' so be could not tell me who was calling me 10 times a day.  When I pressed the issue and sent e-mails to AT&T threatening to sue, I received a letter from the law department stating they don't have that information and it would be useless to sue.

Same question, would you believe a hardware/software engineer, or would you believe a lawyer?
