I get so many phone calls daily from all over! I have put everyone that I do business with in my contacts list, so if your not there, I don't pick up and they never leave a message. Then they get blocked!
Thanks for the info about even pushing a button; I didn't know that. Thanks!
I too received a call tonight from "Benefits." I've seen that name before. Many a time. I just unplugged the phone, knowing that the person at the other end was up to no good. Thanks to LaurenL above with her response. Until tax season is over, I am sure that there will be more calls like this one.
BIG MISTAKE --------- never ever ever ever press any numbers that the recorded message directs you to do. It simply confirms to the scammer-creeps that there is a real person answering your phone. So then they will call even MORE OFTEN. And possibly worse -- know they have a real phone number to add to the underground spam phone lists that they sell. So while they make money off your phone number, they also make you miserable ------ as do all of their list-buying-buddies.............................
