Got three calls from this number in the past couple days -- the first at around 6 PM yesterday (2/19/2016) and again at around 11 AM and 1 PM today (2/20/2016). Caller ID in all 3 cases read: "FREEWHEEL MEDIA 1-201-643-7685". I let all 3 calls roll thru to voice mail; and no message was ever left. Checked the website here, which confirmed that this is nobody that I want to talk to. So they've now been added to my Call Block List.
I swore I posted my comment on 2/15/16, and nobody else did at that time! I checked again to see if anyone else is getting calls, and I find 4 pages of posts! But I don't see my comment.
Anyway, I got a call around 2:30 pm on 2/14/16. There was no message of course.
I never answer calls I don't recognize, no matter how many times they call. If I can, I add them to my block list (I can only have 10 numbers, so I have to remove a number sometimes, hoping that number won't call me again.....) If it's important enough and they want to specifically reach me, they will SAY SOMETHING.
I take Caller ID and the number with a grain of salt on these types of calls. It can be spoofed.
Got a call from this company. They left no message. I looked them up on google and found they have been bought by Comcast. This is their company write-up.
