voice over internet phone

two big cases -- on the replacement. two big cases, a transgender case and whether a baker can refuse services. and now an 8 on your side alert, are you getting a on the of spam phone call, even if you're on the do not call list?

it's gotten easier to evade u.s. law enforcement. news channel 8's meredyth censullo has been looking into this. and we have all been noticing this more and more. reporter: are right. i thought maybe has it expired

or something? no, there's a gaping hole in the do not call list. and robo callers have figured out a way to slide right through. heard from rachel from card services? she's a human-like robot and

wants your money. a couple years ago, the scammers did not sound like rachel from card services. they sounded like people that were scamming you. reporter: this attorney says the scam is easier than ever to pull off with a laptop and

automatic dialing machines that use voice over internet phone systems. i can call literally a million people a day using an auto dialer that cost me about $900. reporter: scammers evade the do not call list by sending

bogus numbers to caller ids and hiding the source. a lot of calls originate from other countries out of the reach of u.s. law enforcement. it's so bad the government convened a robo call strike force of companies working towards a solution but the

first plan won't come out for weeks. howard says a lot of scammers are third parties, hired by legitimate company. threaten them. i'm calling on the fbi on you. right when i hang up the phone,

i'm calling the fbi. and then do it. reporter: register land lines with the fcc approved website to screen incoming numbers against a database of known scammers. it is available for androids and iphones with ios 10 but

there's a waiting list. now there are other apps that can block known spammers but that is the key here, guys, it's known. the key is catching all of the numbers. the numbers getting through are unknown because they are

spoofed numbers. meaning you block them and they call from another line.
