i've gotten TWO different government phone surveys about Public Health in the last 2 years
and i did them both even though they were long because those poor poor government employees just need data that proves people are:
capable of being normal for a voluntary poll and not wildly abusive
also not all conspiratorial wackjobs when it comes to vaccines.
#i spoke to a CDC lady today for a phone survey and when we got to the end#the genuine politeness and RELIEF evident in her voice that i was Fucking Normal About Answering Generic Health Questions was VISCERAL lol#no it wasn't a scam scammers don't want to know how many times i got the covid 19 vaccine

So it looks like Sinema, having gotten her requisite pound of flesh for her billionaire hedge fund buddies (basically, they agreed to keep the carried-interest tax loophole and replace it with an excise tax on stock buybacks), has finally agreed to support the Inflation Reduction Act, otherwise known as the $740 billion "pretty much Build Back Better but we are calling it something different" bill that Manchin and Schumer came out with. If/when it passes, which could be as soon as this weekend, the Democrats will have achieved -- with a 50-50 Senate with two habitual Manchurian candidates, a four-seat House majority, a rampantly fascist opposing party, a Supreme Court openly bent on destroying democracy and personal liberty, and an active criminal investigation into the previous administration -- at least the following:
The American Rescue Plan, aka the first post-inauguration $1.9 trillion Covid relief package, which was the largest investment in the working class since the New Deal;
The bipartisan infrastructure bill, which is the first major structural and transportation modernization and systemic overhaul for the country since the 1970s;
The first significant gun safety legislation in 30 years and since at least the Clinton administration;
Multiple executive orders now signed on protecting abortion rights and access to reproductive care, including travel out of state if necessary;
A bill in the works to officially codify same-sex marriage and thus protect it from SCOTUS;
Reauthorization and improvement of the Violence Against Women Act, including strong new protections for LGBTQ+ and Native American victims of domestic abuse or sexual assault, including the ability for Native courts to prosecute non-Native offenders for sex crimes for the first time in history;
Finally (FINALLY) making lynching a federal hate crime;
The largest climate legislation ever passed in America (this bill), which also establishes a federal minimum 15% corporate tax rate and lowers healthcare costs, including for essential medications like insulin, by, like, a lot;
Passage of the PACT Act, aka expanding healthcare for disabled veterans exposed to burn pits, also the biggest expansion in this field for a generation despite Republicans briefly killing it in an outburst of pettiness;
Consistent big packages of support for Ukraine, rebuilding of foreign alliances, huge bipartisan support for including Sweden and Finland in NATO (hahahaha fuck you Josh Hawley);
The CHIPS act, which creates tech and manufacturing jobs in America and was made even sweeter by how thoroughly they fucked over McTurtle to do it (since oh boy does he deserve a taste of his own medicine);
Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman on SCOTUS, and not an awful white supremacist stand-in like Clarence Thomas, but a genuinely progressive and thoughtful jurist;
Cancellation of almost $6 billion in student loans for the poorest and most defrauded borrowers, such as those who attended scam for-profit "colleges";
And so on and so forth!!!
So like. Please tell me more about how the Democrats are incompetent, their leadership is bad, they are in Disarray TM, you are a terrible person if you support Biden or give them any credit at all, and you're just not excited to vote because they haven't done anything. Like yes! There is a lot more to do! Despite them suddenly deciding to play ball on this particular occasion, Manchin and Sinema still need to be made irrelevant as soon as possible! But as I said, this is happening with the thinnest of imaginable Congressional control, as the other party is literally trying to destroy democracy in real time before our faces. That is not irrelevant.
Also: ruby-red Kansas curb-stomped an attempt to outlaw abortion rights, and approximately 77% of the entire country supports this current bill. The generic Congressional ballots have all shown major movement toward Democrats, and frankly, I have a feeling that we have only just started to see the full impact of post-Roe fallout. So if you get off your asses, quit whining, and put the work in, we could actually win the midterms and then do EVEN MORE!
So yeah. Uh. Food for thought.
#hilary for ts#politics for ts#'but biden didn't give me a pony!!!'#'sTudEnT lOaNs!!!'#oh like the ones you have not paid a single penny on since he took office#the legislative agenda enacted thus far represents progress in every single left wing issue#and in utterly terrible circumstances#so yeah if you are still saying this#please stfu forever

The Biden administration announced a series of measures Thursday to track down and punish fraudsters who scammed billions of taxpayer dollars that were supposed to provide relief to Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden is pledging $1.6 billion to bolster law enforcement manpower and new programs that will be used to prosecute scammers, prevent fraud, and provide assistance to victims of identity theft.
“We want to not only capture them and get their funds, we want to send a signal to them that you can run, but you cannot hide,” said Gene Sperling, a Biden senior adviser who is overseeing the implementation of the COVID-relief plan.
THE LATEST
• The administration’s plans call for creating 10 Department of Justice “strike forces” that will include U.S. attorneys and other law enforcement officials to investigate COVID-relief fraud and help recover stolen tax dollars. The teams will target criminal syndicates and other major fraudsters. Three strike forces already are in place and have recovered millions of dollars in stolen relief funds, officials said.
• The administration also will propose increasing the statute of limitations to 10 years for fraud involving the pandemic Unemployment Insurance program, which has been hit especially hard by scammers.
• Some $300 million will be distributed to inspectors general at the Small Business Administration, the Department of Labor and the staff of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee, a government watchdog over pandemic spending. The money would be used to hire investigators and make sure they have the resources needed to pursue specialized cases of pandemic fraud.
• In his proposed budget to be released next week, Biden will offer a package of legislative reforms to prevent, detect and recover payments made improperly through the Unemployment Insurance program.
• Federal grants would be made to states to help modernize their information technology systems to enable them to respond more quickly to fraud, decrease erroneous payments and provide more efficient claims processing.
• New initiatives also would be put in place to identify victims of identity theft, including an early warning system to stop potentially fraudulent transactions before they occur and a one-stop shop to report identity crimes.
WHY IT MATTERS
The federal government distributed more than $5 trillion in pandemic relief under programs approved by Biden and former President Donald Trump. The money was distributed quickly, leading to an increase in fraud and other improper payments, such as those that shouldn’t have been made or were made in the wrong amount.
The Government Accountability Office reported last month that the extent of fraud in COVID-relief programs is not yet known but that the Unemployment Insurance program alone was believed to have made more than $60 billion in fraudulent payments.
From March 2020 to last January, at least 1,044 people pleaded guilty or were convicted of defrauding COVID relief programs, the GAO report said. Federal charges were pending against another 609 individuals or entities for attempting to defraud COVID-relief programs.
Also, the federal government gave $5.4 billion in COVID aid to small businesses with “questionable” Social Security numbers, the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee reported in January. The watchdog identified nearly 70,000 questionable Social Security numbers used to obtain pandemic aid from two programs run by the Small Business Administration.
WHAT'S NEXT?
The Republican-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee has opened an investigation into fraud in COVID-relief programs. The committee held its first hearing on the subject last month.
Sperling, however, said the administration’s anti-fraud package isn’t a direct response to the GOP investigations. Most of the proposals were being prepared before last November’s election, he said.

my dad got laid off and im a college student taking night classes- are there any good ways to work from home that arent scams?
I'm so sorry that your family is going through a rough patch. The first place I might start, just to help you in the short-term, is to check with your college and see if they have any emergency fund grants. Some places you might look for this information/who you can reach out to include your advisor, financial aid, your college's dean of students office, TRIO program, and student support services office.
(Note: If you see emergency grants related to COVID-19 or HEERF funds, those grants might not be available anymore. Many colleges were given short-term federal COVID relief dollars to help students cope at the height of the pandemic.)
On the job reliability front, I'm so glad you're looking out and aware of scams! I like the Better Business Bureau website in general for checking out businesses and brands I'm unsure about: https://www.bbb.org/ and sometimes Glassdoor will have warnings about particular employers from former employees.
@bitchesgetriches has an interesting article about finding remote jobs (as well as tons of other great career advice!). Couple of jobs that came to my mind: medical billing, data entry, and assistant gigs (be careful with the assistant ones, lots of variety and mixed results in my experience; watch those job descriptions).
Lastly, I'd also recommend going through a staffing/temp/talent agency like Robert Half (a reputable company, recommended to me by my old boss who was the best). There can be pros and cons to this depending on the opportunity, but these agencies get hired and paid by by companies to go find employees, which may help you find more legit options!
Best of luck! I'm rooting for you!

By Dr. Joseph Mercola
As detailed in “How COVID Patients Died for Profit,” hospitals were financially incentivized to diagnose patients with COVID and treat them with protocols known to be lethal, in part to “protect” the staff from infection.
As if that weren’t bad enough, primary care providers across the U.S. were also bribed to coerce patients into getting the toxic COVID shot. The following document was posted to Twitter in mid-April 2023 by Rep. Thomas Massie, an award-winning scientist and Republican Congressman for Kentucky.1
“Ethically, shouldn’t doctors disclose when they’re profiting by recommending a drug or treatment — especially a drug or treatment for which there is no medical malpractice liability?” Massie said.2

Upgrade to paid
Doctors Were Incentivized to Jab Babies Too
Once the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the COVID shot for children, similar vaccination incentives were extended to them as well. As detailed in an Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Medicaid provider bulletin3 dated July 2022, doctors received $50 for each Medicaid patient aged 6 months and older, who got the experimental shot.
Hospitals Received at Least $100 Billion From Taxpayers
In late March 2020, the U.S. Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.4 Within this $2 trillion stimulus package, $100 billion was earmarked for hospitals and local health centers that treated COVID patients.5
And, rather than simply agreeing to pay COVID patients’ bills, the government decided to pay hospitals extra — a lot extra — over and above the standard bill, provided they treated patients in a certain way. By the end of October 2020, $96 billion had already been disbursed.6
Ostensibly, the additional bonuses for COVID patients were supposed to help hospitals recoup revenue that was lost due to the cancelation of elective procedures. But hospitals were supposedly filled to the brim with COVID patients, so just how much revenue was lost?

2022 in Movies, My Autumn/Winter Top Ten Runners-Up Rundown
Basically because I just got sick of all the movies the past few years that I haven’t praised in the Autumn Winter period, especially during the Pandemic years, because they didn’t make the Top Ten and so didn’t qualify for the Top 30, I decided to start doing these, so ... hope you enjoy, these are all great, and the Top 30 itself is on the way by the weekend, I promise!
20. THE MENU – A true underdog curiosity which emerged to a surprising amount of interest due to its sheer quality and hot-button genius, this deeply odd jet black social satire genuinely came out of left-field. Director Mark Mylod’s previous form (mainly directing TV such as Succession and Shameless) certainly didn’t indicate he had THIS in him – a razor-sharp psychological horror comedy about a ultra-exclusive avant-garde restaurant run by a legendary chef (Ralph Fiennes) serving mind-boggling symbolic food to unappreciative snobbish clientele that include Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult and John Leguizamo.
19. BLACK ADAM – Amidst all the sheer chaos of cancelations, shake-ups and post-COVID delays, a DCEU movie DID manage to sneak out from Warner Bros. … although given the lack of fanfare, underwhelming box office and lacklustre reviews have to wonder why they bothered. Thing is, taken on face value as an actual MOVIE, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson’s star vehicle franchise break-in is actually pretty good, an enjoyably bombastic and visually impressive action adventure with some surprisingly well-thought-out characters and a cheeky sense of humour. It falls down somewhat in the final act and is frustratingly lacking in an actual proper VILLAIN … although given the titular character’s unapologetic antihero status that might ultimately have been the point …
18. THE AMAZING MAURICE – in the final days of the year, something really special came out VERY MUCH under the radar that I was damn lucky to stumble across – a bona fide Terry Pratchett Discworld adaptation the actually WORKED. After 2021’s ABYSSMAL attempt to bring the Ankh Morpork City Watch to the small screen imploded horrifically, it’s a relief to see somebody finally get the late great Pterry’s voice RIGHT in film form … the end result, wisely adapted from his lovable novel about a talking cat who has a complex “pied piper” scam going with a bunch of equally impressive supersmart rats, is pure gold, the animation likeably cartoonish but still beautifully capturing the mastery of Paul Kidby’s winning artistic takes on Discworld’s characters. It’s a must-watch for the kids, but as you’d expect it’s also sophisticated enough to please the grown-ups too. Somebody get the geniuses who put this together to do more Pratchett, this is DEFINITELY the way to go.
17. STRANGE WORLD – Disney’s other big 2022 animated release was a somewhat unwieldy beast coming out of the gate, but surprisingly it’s turned out to be a charmingly offbeat and original piece of work which clearly had a lot of fun breaking fresh ground for the studio in the fine tradition of the explorers the story showcases. From a visual standpoint alone this is one of the most impressive movies I’ve seen from the studio in some time, brilliantly inventive and vibrantly colourful, while the characters are rewardingly multi-dimensional. It’s a perfect film for those of us who loved the underrated likes of Treasure Planet and Atlantis: the Lost Empire, which almost makes you wonder why they were so bafflingly quiet about it when it came time for the marketing …
16. DON’T WORRY DARLING – following on from her impressive feature debut as a director, Booksmart, Olivia Wilde set her sights on something a whole lot more ambitious with this deeply unsettling Lynchian cinematic fever dream. Florence Pugh is ON FIRE as the seemingly perfect housewife in the not-quite-right idyllic 1950s town of Victory, California, who discovers that something is DEEPLY WRONG with her charming little domestic utopia. Wilde crafts a perfect oppressive sense of impending doom throughout, while Chris Pine gives us GENUINE CHILLS as the company head/puppet-master at the centre of this disturbing small town nightmare.
15. GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO – My favourite filmmaking geek of all time scored a triple hitter this past year, and his final offering is a gleefully odd little joy of stop-motion animation which uses the bare bones of the original children’s story, del Toro letting his freak-flag fly with enthusiasm as he viewed the nightmare of Fascist Italy under the control of Mussolini through the prism of Pinocchio’s pure free spirited chaos gremlin of a living wooden puppet. As a result it’s a wonderfully weird film, welcoming in younger audiences by somewhat softening the edges of some of the director’s similarly-themed previous woks like The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth, but not sacrificing any of his distinctive creative voice.
14. VIOENT NIGHT – the festive season got a cinematic boost in fine style as Dead Snow and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters creator Tommy Wirkola brought more of his enjoyably idiosyncratic black comedy action movie style to bear on Christmas itself with this unapologetically BRUTAL story of a deeply disillusioned Santa Claus (a thoroughly on-point David Harbour) who’s forced to resurrect his old self (namely a badass Viking warrior) in order to save a genuinely good little girl from a gang of dastardly Grinch-like thugs who’ve taken her rich family hostage on Christmas Eve. This is totally one of my new fave Xmas movies …
13. DIO: DREAMERS NEVER DIE – it’s always nice when I can squeeze a documentary or two into these, and this is a very welcome addition, a beautifully engrossing and deeply inspiring recounting of the larger-than-life tale of the truest gentleman in the history of heavy metal, Ronny James Dio. A fascinating array of friends, colleagues and fans come together to tell the tale of just what an incredibly huge shadow this surprisingly diminutive man cast, and the incredible legacy he left behind when he died in 2010. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you will DEFINITELY want to rock …
12. FALL – After serving his time making clunky but fun low budget action fare like The Tournament and Final Score, writer-direct Scott Mann looks to have finally come of age with this stunning white knuckle survival thriller about two young free climbers who scale a defunct 2,000 foot TV tower in the middle of the Mojave desert, only for a horrifying accident to leave them both stranded at the top with no means of getting down again safely. I swear I spent THE ENTIRE RUNNING TIME of this movie on the edge of my seat, gripping the armrests of the seat for dear life, this is one of the most magnificently terrifying movies I have EVER SEEN …
11. SEE HOW THEY RUN – Deceptively small and seemingly quaint, this gentle mystery comedy from debuting director Tom George and writer Mark Chappell (My Life In Film, Cold Feet) is actually completely fiendish and MASSIVELY entertaining. A louche drunkard detective (Sam Rockwell) and a plucky rookie WPC (Saoirse Ronan) in early 50s London investigate the murder of a universally disliked loudmouth American producer looking to turn Agatha Christie’s long-running whodunnit stage play The Mousetrap into a potentially godawful American style melodramatic movie. Thoroughly ingenious chaos ensues …

Personal: Sleep when I’m Dead
I stayed up Wednesday for my crown. The preliminary was getting quite loose and it was a massive relief. my plan was to pick up some food on the way home. I was in a traffic jam just off the exit ramp when the oil light flashed on. This is a drama with my car. You need a mechanic, as it's too fragile for jiffy Lube. Honest mechanic sorted me temporarily, but the oil change I don't have money for needs doing in the next couple of months or I'm risking the engine. I was literally thinking about it over the weekend as it's Oil change season. Money's super tight this month. It's always tight September-early February. This is probably a November problem, as nervous as waiting that long that makes me.
So that and the food burned another hour of sleep. Then there was eating and lungs and a bath, all of which were necessary. The light is close to normal, but as of Wednesday, everything still smelled scorched and the sky was still slightly the wrong colour, so it is unwise to sleep after I got all those particulates in my hair. Subtract another hour and a half from my tiny sleep allowance. I lay down for the nap. As with Tuesday, every time I drifted off the phone range, because of course it did.
The friends who risked their lives getting my groceries the first year of the pandemic are in COVID quarantine, so head Millennial and I ran our usual Wednesday errands, then went up to run errands for them. It is now normal for august hot instead of heat wave hot, so that's an improvement. (Yes, I know it's September. *shakes fist at the climate crisis*). Neither I nor Head Millennial do well in the heat, but we got most of it. (We forgot one thing and it was too late to finish a second thing by the time we'd finished the previous step in accomplishing it. I gave in and used the electric cart for our groceries and theirs. I hate those things because they are counter intuitive if you drive cars, they turn like a tank, seldom are charged up, and you get trapped by slow moving people clogging the aisles and it is extremely hard to turn around.
For once the cart was fully charged, which I don't think I've ever seen before. as a result once my brain switched over to cart driving from car driving I was fair tooling along on the straight away where the aisles weren't blocked. Poor Head Millennial was very much having the full cat herding experience with me, I fear, but I was barely able to walk by the time we got to the store, and it was just massively helpful to be able to sit and have the Millennial grab the things from the shelves. Bonus, if you tap reverse it makes a beep that encourages conversation clot to move out of the way, though why they can’t talk against a shelf instead of across the aisle to block it in the first place, I can’t guess. I told them after we dropped off the stuff for our sick friends and ate the meal they'd bought us when we picked up theirs, we'd just get the groceries in and away, and I'd take them straight home. We were both done in, but it was absolutely worth it. I just wish we could do more for them.
Thursday was meant to be a rest day, but it was also the third day in a row of the phone repeatedly waking me up. For once a majority were medical or similar, or other essential calls. Rick Larsen's robo bot woke me twice in the last two day, which I felt was wildly unfair, and I really fucking wish they'd do something about first responder scam charities in this country. Sigh.
Friday is morning forage box and mid sleep cycle Doctor (It couldn't be helped). Sigh.

Alon Cohen Spam Calls: 5 Powerful Ways to Block Them
In today's modern world, unwanted disruptions in the form of spam calls have become increasingly common. Alon Cohen spam calls, in particular, have been causing frustration and inconvenience for phone users. Whether it's telemarketing calls, robocalls, or scams, these unwanted calls can disrupt our daily lives and compromise our phone privacy. It's essential to have effective strategies in place to block Alon Cohen spam calls and safeguard our phones from these unwanted disruptions.
Understanding Alon Cohen Spam Calls
Alon Cohen spam calls, also known as unwanted calls, are a prevalent issue that can cause significant phone disruptions for users. These calls typically originate from spammers or telemarketers who attempt to deceive or scam unsuspecting individuals. The consequences of falling victim to Alon Cohen spam calls can range from annoying interruptions to financial loss and even identity theft.
Alon Cohen spam calls are characterized by their unsolicited nature, often targeting random phone numbers and bombarding individuals with unwanted calls. These calls can occur on both landlines and mobile devices, making them a widespread problem that affects individuals across various demographics.
Phone disruptions caused by Alon Cohen spam calls can include continuous ringing, calls during inconvenient or inappropriate times, and persistent harassment. These disruptions can disrupt productivity, interrupt important conversations, and invade personal space, causing significant frustration and annoyance.
To combat the negative impact of Alon Cohen spam calls, individuals must understand their nature and the tactics employed by spammers. By recognizing the signs and learning effective strategies to block and report these unwanted calls, individuals can regain control over their phone usage and protect themselves from unnecessary disruptions.
The Rise of Alon Cohen Spam Calls
The increase in Alon Cohen spam calls has become a growing concern for phone users worldwide. These spam calls, often originating from unknown numbers, aim to deceive and defraud unsuspecting individuals. The rise in spam calls is closely tied to the prevalence of phone scams, which have become more sophisticated and widespread.
Phone scams are fraudulent activities conducted over the phone with the intention of extracting personal information or money from victims. Scammers may pose as legitimate businesses, government officials, or financial institutions to gain the trust of their targets. They employ various tactics, such as offering fake prizes, threatening legal action, or impersonating trusted individuals, to manipulate victims into providing sensitive information or making financial transactions.
The increase in spam calls can be attributed to several factors. First, advancements in technology have made it easier for scammers to automate and mass-distribute spam calls. They can spoof caller ID information to make it appear as if the call is coming from a legitimate source, further deceiving the recipient. Additionally, the globalization of communication networks has made it possible for scammers to reach a wider audience, transcending geographical boundaries.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided scammers with new opportunities to exploit people's uncertainties and fears. They may impersonate health authorities, offering fake vaccines or COVID-19 treatments, or exploit financial relief programs by requesting personal information or financial assistance under false pretenses.
To combat the rise in Alon Cohen spam calls and protect oneself from falling victim to phone scams, individuals need to be cautious and vigilant. It is essential not to share personal information, such as Social Security numbers or bank account details, over the phone unless absolutely necessary and when certain of the legitimacy of the caller.
By staying informed about the tactics used by scammers and taking proactive measures to block and report spam calls, individuals can contribute to mitigating the impact of this rising menace. Implementing effective call blocking strategies, such as utilizing call blocking apps or registering on the Do Not Call Registry, can significantly reduce the number of unwanted calls and provide a greater sense of phone security.
Why Blocking Alon Cohen Spam Calls is Important
When it comes to protecting personal privacy and ensuring phone security, blocking Alon Cohen spam calls is of utmost importance. Alon Cohen spam calls can be a major nuisance, causing unwanted disruptions in your daily life. These calls often come from unknown numbers, and answering them can lead to potential security risks and invasions of your phone privacy.
By actively blocking Alon Cohen spam calls, you take control of your phone's security and maintain your privacy. Blocking these calls prevents scammers and telemarketers from reaching you, reducing the chances of falling victim to phone scams and fraudulent activities.
Furthermore, blocking Alon Cohen spam calls ensures that your phone remains free from unnecessary interruptions. Instead of constantly receiving unwanted calls, you can focus on what truly matters, whether it's work, family, or personal time.
By incorporating effective call blocking strategies into your phone usage, such as using call blocking apps or enabling Do Not Disturb mode, you can reclaim control over your phone and protect your privacy. These strategies not only safeguard against Alon Cohen spam calls but also provide a sense of security, knowing that your phone is protected from unwanted disruptions and potential security threats.
So, don't underestimate the significance of blocking Alon Cohen spam calls. Take the necessary steps to implement robust call blocking techniques and enjoy a safer, more secure phone experience.
Finding the Right Call Blocking App
When it comes to protecting yourself from Alon Cohen spam calls, having the right call blocking app can make all the difference. With the plethora of smartphone applications available, it's important to consider certain features that can enhance the effectiveness of blocking Alon Cohen spam calls.
Key Features to Consider
When evaluating call blocking apps, here are a few features to take into account:
Call Identification: Look for an app that accurately identifies incoming calls as spam or potential Alon Cohen spam calls. This feature can save you time and frustration by automatically blocking these unwanted calls.
Custom Blocking Rules: A call blocking app that allows for personalized call blocking rules can help you tailor your settings to your specific needs. This way, you can block specific numbers or types of calls associated with Alon Cohen spam calls.
Whitelist and Blacklist: Consider an app that offers whitelist and blacklist functionality. This lets you allow calls from important contacts while blocking calls from unknown numbers.
Robocall Detection: To combat the increasing number of robocalls, choose an app that has advanced robocall detection capabilities. This feature can identify and block automated spam calls before they reach your phone.
User Reviews and Ratings: Before downloading any call blocking app, it's wise to check user reviews and ratings. This can give you insights into the app's effectiveness and reliability in blocking Alon Cohen spam calls.
Remember, finding the right call blocking app is essential in effectively blocking Alon Cohen spam calls. Take the time to research and consider the features that best suit your needs to ensure a spam-free calling experience.
Enabling Do Not Disturb Mode
One effective way to block Alon Cohen spam calls and minimize disruptions is by enabling the Do Not Disturb mode on your smartphone. This feature, available on most modern devices, allows you to customize your phone's settings to silence notifications and calls.
When you activate Do Not Disturb mode, your phone will automatically silence incoming calls, texts, and notifications, ensuring that you can have uninterrupted time without being bothered by Alon Cohen spam calls. It provides a peaceful environment, especially during important meetings, work sessions, or when you simply need some quiet time.
By accessing your phone's settings, you can personalize the Do Not Disturb mode to meet your specific needs. For example, you can set certain contacts as exceptions, ensuring that important calls from family members, friends, or colleagues still come through.
In addition to blocking Alon Cohen spam calls, enabling Do Not Disturb mode can also help you maintain focus and reduce distractions. You won't have to worry about unnecessary interruptions or notifications that can disrupt your workflow or leisure time.
Remember to regularly check and update your Do Not Disturb settings to ensure they are optimized for your needs. By utilizing this feature, you can effectively block Alon Cohen spam calls and enjoy a more peaceful, uninterrupted mobile experience.
Registering on the Do Not Call Registry
Registering your phone number on the Do Not Call Registry is a crucial step in protecting yourself from Alon Cohen spam calls and ensuring legal protection. The Do Not Call Registry is a national list of phone numbers that telemarketers are prohibited from calling. By adding your number to this registry, you can significantly reduce the number of unwanted calls you receive.
The process of registering your phone number is simple and free. You can visit the official website of the Federal Trade Commission, which manages the Do Not Call Registry, and provide your phone number and email address. Once you've submitted your information, you'll receive a confirmation email with further instructions to complete the registration process.
It's important to note that registering on the Do Not Call Registry doesn't guarantee that you'll never receive any unwanted calls. Some exceptions apply, such as calls from political organizations, charities, and surveys. However, it does provide you with legal protection and empowers you to take action against persistent Alon Cohen spam calls.
Furthermore, if you continue to receive unwanted calls from telemarketers even after registering on the Do Not Call Registry, you can report these calls to the Federal Trade Commission. Reporting such calls helps not only in taking action against violators but also in preventing future Alon Cohen spam calls to your registered number.
Take control of your phone calls
By registering your phone number on the Do Not Call Registry, you are taking a proactive step towards reducing the number of Alon Cohen spam calls you receive. This legal protection can provide a significant relief from the disruptions caused by unwanted telemarketing calls. Remember to report any persistent violators to the Federal Trade Commission to further protect yourself and other phone users.
Setting Custom Call Blocking Rules
One effective way to block specific numbers associated with Alon Cohen spam calls is by setting custom call blocking rules in your phone's call settings. By utilizing these custom rules, you can proactively prevent unwanted disruptions and safeguard your phone from potential spam calls.
To begin, navigate to the call settings menu on your smartphone. The location of this menu may vary depending on the device and operating system you're using. Look for options related to call blocking or call settings.
Once you've accessed the call settings, search for the option to create custom call blocking rules. This feature allows you to specify certain criteria, such as blocking calls from specific numbers or contacts. By entering the relevant information, you can target and block Alon Cohen spam calls that originate from these specific numbers.
Here's how to set up custom call blocking rules:
1. Open the call settings menu on your smartphone.
2. Locate the option to create custom call blocking rules.
3. Select the option to add a new rule or create a new block list.
4. Enter the specific number or contact name that you want to block. This could include numbers associated with Alon Cohen spam calls.
5. Save the rule or block list to activate the custom call blocking.
Once you've set up the custom call blocking rule, incoming calls from the specified numbers will be automatically blocked, ensuring that you don't receive unwanted calls from Alon Cohen spam callers.
Remember to regularly update and review your custom call blocking rules to adapt to any changes in Alon Cohen spam call tactics. By staying vigilant and utilizing these custom call blocking rules, you can effectively protect your phone from the nuisance of spam calls.
Using Third-Party Call Blocking Services
If you are tired of receiving unwanted Alon Cohen spam calls and are looking for a more effective solution to block them, consider using third-party call blocking services. These services provide advanced filtering capabilities that can help you put an end to the constant disruptions caused by spam calls.
Third-party call blocking services offer a range of features and subscription services to cater to your specific needs. Whether you want to block calls from a specific number or implement more advanced filtering options, these services have you covered.
With their advanced algorithms, these call blocking services can accurately identify and block Alon Cohen spam calls, ensuring that only genuine and important calls reach your phone. They constantly update their databases to stay ahead of the ever-evolving spam call tactics.

Stay tuned for the next section, where we will discuss another effective strategy for blocking Alon Cohen spam calls.
Reporting Alon Cohen Spam Calls
If you have been receiving Alon Cohen spam calls, it is crucial to take action and report them to the proper authorities. By reporting these spam calls, you not only protect yourself but also contribute to preventing future calls for others. One effective way to report Alon Cohen spam calls is by contacting the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The FTC is a government agency dedicated to protecting consumers from various forms of fraud, including spam calls. They have a dedicated division responsible for handling complaints related to unwanted calls. By reporting Alon Cohen spam calls to the FTC, you provide valuable information that can help them identify patterns and trends, ultimately enabling them to take legal actions against the perpetrators.
To report Alon Cohen spam calls to the FTC, you can visit their official website and use their online reporting tool. The tool guides you through the process and collects essential information about the spam calls you have received. This includes details such as the phone number the call originated from, the date and time of the call, and any additional relevant information.
Why Reporting Matters
Reporting Alon Cohen spam calls to the FTC is not only beneficial for your personal protection but also for the wider community. When you report these calls, you contribute to a larger database of complaints that the FTC uses to gather evidence against scammers and enforce regulations. This collective reporting helps the FTC build stronger cases against those responsible for spam calls, making it more likely for them to be brought to justice.
Furthermore, reporting Alon Cohen spam calls can lead to preventative measures being implemented. The FTC uses the information gathered from reports to identify trends, patterns, and new techniques employed by scammers. This allows them to develop strategies and regulations to combat spam calls effectively.
By taking the time to report Alon Cohen spam calls, you not only play an active role in the fight against phone fraud but also help protect others from potential scams and unwanted disruptions.
In the next section, we will explore strategies to protect yourself against caller ID spoofing, a common technique used by Alon Cohen spam calls to deceive victims.
Protecting Against Caller ID Spoofing
Caller ID spoofing is a technique frequently employed by Alon Cohen spam calls to deceive phone users. It involves manipulating the caller ID information to display a different phone number or name on the recipient's device. This can make it challenging to identify and block spam calls effectively. However, there are steps you can take to protect yourself against caller ID spoofing.
One effective method is to verify callers before providing any sensitive information or engaging in conversations. If you receive a call from an unknown number, consider asking for additional information to validate the caller's identity. For example, you could ask for an account number, a reference code, or any other information related to the call's purpose. Genuine callers will usually provide the requested information, while spam callers or scammers may try to evade providing valid details.
Another strategy is to enable phone number authentication features offered by your service provider or call blocking app. Phone number authentication protocols can help verify the legitimacy of incoming calls. By implementing this feature, you can reduce the likelihood of falling victim to caller ID spoofing.
When dealing with suspicious or unknown callers, exercise caution and avoid sharing personal or financial information over the phone. Be skeptical of unsolicited requests for sensitive data or offers that sound too good to be true. Remember, legitimate organizations will typically not ask for payment details or personal information over the phone.
In addition to these measures, staying informed about common Alon Cohen spam call techniques and trends can help you recognize and avoid falling into their traps. Educating yourself on the latest phone scams and strategies employed by spammers will enhance your ability to protect against caller ID spoofing and other forms of unwanted phone disruptions.
Remember, protecting yourself against caller ID spoofing requires vigilance and a proactive approach. By verifying callers, enabling phone number authentication, and staying informed about spam call tactics, you can minimize the risk of falling victim to Alon Cohen spam calls and protect your privacy and security.
Educating Yourself on Common Phone Scams
When it comes to protecting yourself from phone scams, knowledge is your greatest defense. Staying informed about common phone scams associated with Alon Cohen spam calls, such as phishing and identity theft, can significantly enhance your awareness and protection against these fraudulent activities.
Phishing scams involve fraudulent individuals or organizations attempting to deceive you into revealing sensitive personal information, such as your passwords, credit card details, or social security number. These scammers often pose as legitimate entities, such as banks, government agencies, or well-known companies, in an attempt to gain your trust and extract valuable information.
Identity theft is another prevalent phone scam that aims to steal your personal identifying information, including your name, address, date of birth, and social security number. With this information, scammers can assume your identity to commit various illegal activities, such as opening fraudulent bank accounts, applying for loans, or conducting unauthorized transactions.
It is crucial to familiarize yourself with the common tactics employed by these phone scammers to identify and avoid falling victim to their schemes. Be wary of unsolicited calls requesting personal information or offering too-good-to-be-true deals. Remember, legitimate companies or organizations will never ask for your sensitive information over the phone. Additionally, keep an eye out for suspiciously low wholesale VoIP rates, as scammers may use this as a lure to engage potential victims.
By understanding and recognizing the patterns and techniques employed by phone scammers, you can protect yourself and your personal information from falling into the wrong hands. Remain vigilant, exercise caution, and report any suspicious calls to the appropriate authorities, such as the Federal Trade Commission. Taking these proactive measures will help safeguard against the detrimental consequences of phone scams and ensure your peace of mind.
Frequently Updating Phone Software
Regularly updating phone software is crucial in protecting against Alon Cohen spam calls and addressing software vulnerabilities through security patches. Software vulnerabilities can leave your device susceptible to various threats, including spam calls.
By keeping your phone's software up to date, you ensure that the latest security measures are in place, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential spam call disruptions.
Software updates often contain bug fixes, patches, and security enhancements that address vulnerabilities that scammers and spammers exploit to make unwanted calls.
Updating your phone's software is a simple process that can be done by following a few steps:
1. Connect your phone to a reliable internet connection, preferably Wi-Fi, to ensure a stable and fast download.
2. Go to the settings menu on your phone, then look for the "Software Update" or "System Update" option.
3. Tap on the "Software Update" or "Check for Updates" button to allow your phone to search for available updates.
4. If an update is available, follow the prompts to download and install the update.
5. Ensure that your phone remains connected to the internet and plugged into a power source while the update is being installed.
Regularly checking for updates and installing them as they become available is essential in maintaining the security and integrity of your phone's software.
It's worth noting that updating your phone's software not only helps protect against Alon Cohen spam calls but also ensures you have access to the latest features and improvements provided by the phone manufacturer.
Keeping your phone software up to date is an important part of safeguarding your device and personal information from potential threats.
Avoiding Sharing Phone Number Unnecessarily
Protecting your phone number privacy is crucial in guarding against Alon Cohen spam calls. One effective way to safeguard your personal information is by avoiding unnecessary sharing of contacts on online platforms.
When signing up for new online services or social media platforms, be cautious about providing your phone number unless it is absolutely necessary. Consider whether the platform truly requires your phone number or if there are alternative ways to verify your identity.
Additionally, take the time to review the privacy settings of the online platforms you use. Ensure that your contact information, including your phone number, is set to private or visible only to trusted contacts. This way, you can limit access to your phone number and minimize the risk of it being obtained by spammers.
Remember that once your phone number is shared on a public platform, it becomes more vulnerable to being harvested by spammers who specifically target individuals for unsolicited calls.
Stay Mindful of App Permissions
When downloading and installing applications on your smartphone, pay attention to the permissions the app requests. Some apps may ask for access to your contacts, including your phone number, even if it doesn't seem necessary for the app's functionality.
Before granting permissions, consider whether the app's purpose justifies the need for your phone number. If you're uncertain about an app's intentions or feel uncomfortable about disclosing your phone number, it's best to err on the side of caution and avoid sharing it.
By staying vigilant and mindful of the information you share online, you can significantly reduce the risk of your phone number falling into the wrong hands and receiving unwanted Alon Cohen spam calls.
Being Vigilant Against Alon Cohen Spam Calls
To effectively combat Alon Cohen spam calls, it is crucial to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding your phone from suspicious callers. By implementing call screening measures and staying cautious, you can significantly reduce the chances of falling victim to these unwanted disruptions.
One powerful strategy is to enable call screening features provided by your smartphone's operating system or call blocking apps. These features allow you to view caller information and screen incoming calls, enabling you to avoid answering suspicious numbers associated with Alon Cohen spam calls. By exercising vigilance and declining unrecognized or suspicious calls, you can protect yourself from potential scams and intrusive telemarketers.
Additionally, when receiving calls from unknown numbers, remain cautious and avoid sharing personal information over the phone. Alon Cohen spam calls often aim to extract sensitive data or manipulate recipients into divulging confidential details. By exercising caution and refraining from sharing any personal or financial information, you can mitigate the risks associated with these calls.
Further, it is important to report any suspicious Alon Cohen spam calls to the relevant authorities. Contacting the Federal Trade Commission and providing them with information about the call can aid in their efforts to identify and take action against these scammers. Reporting such calls not only helps protect yourself, but also assists in preventing future individuals from falling victim to these fraudulent activities.
In the ongoing battle against Alon Cohen spam calls, remaining vigilant and taking proactive measures is crucial. By implementing effective call screening practices, exercising caution, and reporting suspicious calls, you can fortify your defenses against these unwanted disruptions and protect your phone from potential scams.
Protecting Your Phone from Suspicious Calls
In addition to call screening, there are other precautions you can take to protect your phone from suspicious calls. One such measure is to avoid sharing your phone number unnecessarily on online platforms. Limiting the exposure of your phone number reduces the chances of it being harvested by scammers or added to spam call lists. Be mindful of whom you share your contact information with and exercise caution when providing your phone number online.
Remember, vigilance is key when it comes to combating Alon Cohen spam calls. By remaining alert, being cautious of suspicious callers, and implementing effective call screening measures, you can maintain your phone's privacy and enjoy a disruption-free communication experience.
Conclusion

One effective approach is to find the right call blocking app that offers features such as advanced filtering to block Alon Cohen spam calls. Enabling the Do Not Disturb mode on your smartphone can also help silence notifications and minimize disruptions.
