Same as all the others. Shows up on caller ID Tolentio Glady. I don't answer any numbers I don't recognize. They go to my answering machine. If they call more than 2 to 3 times they get blocked.
Quote:How do I get these guys tostop calling me.
First, STOP POSTING YOUR PHONE NUMBERS IN PUBLIC PLACES!
All that does is invite strange calls.
Or, were those numbers the numbers of your worst enemy, hmmm?
On the other hand, if you really were serious about reducing spam phone calls, and if you have the capability to return here to read and understand answers, have you considered obtaining a call blocking device, app, or phone? Google (or your favorite search engine) IS your friend! Recognize that the Do Not Call list is NOT a call blocker!

Want to stop repeated telescam phone calls?
Try these alternatives:
1. Do not answer the phone if you see an unknown number on your Caller ID ... let it go to answering machine or voicemail. Many telescammers hang up after three or four rings.
2. If you have a smartphone, get one of the inexpensive or free phone blocker apps at your online app store, and learn how to use it.
3. If your cell is not "smart", read the manual to learn how to set up a "group". Assign the scammer's phone number to that group. Also assign a "silent ring" to that group. You will not hear future calls from that number.
3a. Alternately, assign a "silent ringtone" as the DEFAULT ringtone. Then, assign your favorite ringtones to friends, family, contacts, businesses, etc. That way, you will not hear your phone ring, even if the scammer changes numbers! (Disadvantage: if you forget to whitelist somebody, you won't hear their calls, either)
4. For cell phones or landlines: Contact your phone service provider. They may have a facility or method to allow you to block numbers.
5. If you buy things online, you might want to google "phone blocker" to see what devices or apps Amazon or other sites have to offer for landlines or smartphones.
6. DO NOT call unknown numbers back without checking who called (800notes is your friend)! All that does is verify your number is "live". Instead, read this:
