Recd call today @8a I answered it sounded automated so I immediately hung up. After that I've gotten between 10-30 from same # ALL DAY long never answered
If you have a smartphone, you should be able to press and hold the number in your call log until a little menu pops up-there should be an auto-reject list you just tap that. There are apps too-just make sure to read what it has to access. If using something like a flip phone, add the number to your contacts with a name like zzscam01 and assign it a silent ring tone
Some will allow you to and some do not have that feature. If you haven't found ability in your phone to block a number, check in your contacts to see if on any given contact you're able to have a setting of "send to voicemail". I do not have block # ability in my phone, so have made a contact titled Unknown Caller, any of these type calls I receive, I save to that contact. It is set to go straight to voicemail & it saves me a lot of aggrivation.
Called today, foreign woman I could barely understand. She said she was with the U.S. government and that I qualified for some kind of grant that only so many people get. Gave me a confirmation ID number and another phone number to call. 202-580-8516. Then she asked me how I wanted to receive the grant money...checking account, credit card account or money gram. I told her there was no way I was giving her my account information. As soon as she asked for account information, I knew it was a scam. Never called the other number. Not wasting my time.
They call me too same thing, however I did not follow through with calling the other number...I figured it was a scam when they asked for my master card or bank account. or I could receive my grant money through the money gram store at walmart..they knew my name and address. I didn't give them any information..but they already had my name and address...I hate scammers.
