I do not answer any calls from numbers I do not know either, especially from outside my state area codes. If you want to stop these calls from disturbing you - What I do is, after the place has attempted to contact me a couple times....I put them in my contact list, name them "Scam" and give them a silent ring. Wa la....no more disturbing calls! After an unknown period of time with out getting a reaction from you - they will stop calling.
They called us this morning @ 10:45am. CallerID display just said "wireless caller." My wife answered; guy at the other end said "This is the Tax Fairness Institute" or something like that, she immediately hung up on him. 202 area code is Washington DC.
Same experience as Mrs. BilllW, until I pressed the "Operator" button and was on hold briefly. Then the line switched to a robocall from Sen. Scott Brown. Stupid cold-calling by the Brown campaign, or something nefarious by his general election opponent? Hmmm ...
Got the call this morning on my cell phone but didn't answer. This is every day getting calls from all over the US. Thanks god I have unlimited calling plan on my phone. I have stopped answering these calls. I hope I don't miss anything important...
