There is really no reason to get repeated calls from obnoxious callers.
Simply get a phone number blocking service, app or device.

Called and a woman with an accent asked for "Gary" i said "Gary who?" She said "Gary Carter" this is the name of the man who had my phone # before me i don't know him but i get many of his phone calls the thing is i have had this number for 4 yrs. i am sick and tired of these scammers calling me i called the number back and a voice said it was not a working number is this something new that scammers do now?
Received the same call three times. Twice yesterday (man w/Nigerian accent) both early in the morning (before 7:30 am). Told them not to call again and got a call today from a woman with an Indian accent also claiming that I was awarded a government grant. She actually had my mailing address too!
I get about 7 calls a day from this number and others. I have Verizon so I just put it on my call block list, on my online account. However, right now I just have it on my reject call list on my phone b/c you can only have 5 numbers at a time and it had been quite a while since they first called and I wanted to put a new number so I took it off..... big mistake! Obviously they are relentless! I know must ppl I know just answer the phone when anyone calls and if it's a scam our telemarketer they just hang up, But I think that's just stupid. If you don't know the number then why answer, unless you're waiting for a call from a job, etc. But if that's the case then the number will be local. So just like a lot of these people say, if it's important they WILL leave a msg. So why answer?
