Some folks get one a week; some, one a day. We know at least one poor sap who gets them on his home phone, work line and cell.

Those damn robocalls.

You don’t recognize the number, but pick up because it could be important — say, one of your kids in a jam.

But it’s “Joan” or “David” — or some pre-recorded voice — looking to sell you something, or maybe scam you.

Last year, the Federal Trade Commission logged 3.6 million official complaints about robocalls, which use auto-dialing devices to make unsolicited calls in search of new customers. Or victims: Robo-con artists bilk the public out of $350 million a year, says Consumers Union.

With that many people bothering to complain, imagine how vastly many calls there are. And they come day and night, even if you’ve listed your name on the federal Do Not Call registry.

Sen. Chuck Schumer says he wants to end all that. Sunday, he urged land-line and mobile service providers to offer customers new technology to block these nuisance calls.

“The ‘Game of Phones’ with robocalls has gone on far too long,” Schumer says. Technology exists to block these calls, he says — and companies should make it available.

Schumer ‎threatens to have Uncle Sam intervene, warning he’ll push legislation to force firms to do as he says. Of course, he promises new laws to combat one or another problem practically every Sunday, rain or shine: How about picking fewer issues and actually getting it done, Chuck?

A good place to start on this one would be putting more teeth behind that Do Not Call list. If it’s tough to catch culprits who ignore it and mask their identity, then put more resources into enforcement.

Sic some robocops on the robocallers.

One way or another, though, the calls have to stop. Before the entire country’s driven nuts.
