Same here, have called couple of times (showed up as missed call, they hung up on the ans machine), just now I grabbed the phone to answer. Asked for husband by name, then said they were calling for either one of us. Campaign to remind everyone to buckle up for safety, then said paid solicitor for fraternal order of police, would be mailing out pledge package with decal, wanting $$ for death benefit for fallen police.
Our number has been registered for several years (and I update every year) on national Do Not Call registry, but that does not seem to stop any of this kind of phone call.
The same thing calls and does not leave a message only can " I speak to the man or woman of the house." I never pick up calls from ananomys callers. Legitimate businesses should identify themselves. Only crocks hide behind unknown . however, this caller is a male who calls constantly. There has to be a way to stop these pests.
The telephone companies can help identify these people and give their numbers to the authorities to take care of them. I am sure they are aware of the customer's complaints.
They called looking for someone that does not live in my home. They then tried to sound like a bully and say" I think this is the right number". That's when I said it was not and yelled right back at them. Don't let these creeps leave you afraid to answer your phone better to answer it and put the creeps right in their place let them know not to call. I would love to tell you what they were after my guess this is a scammer and they tried to sound like a tough guy which was funny.
