I personally use the word "Speaking" when an unknown caller asks for me. So far that has worked for me. I have yet to have anyone try to get me to say "Yes" if they ask again looking for a yes - I will tell them you already asked that and I already answered it.
Never say yes - scammers can and DO edit their recordings to move the YES to where they want it to be in the conversation.
After many hangups, someone finally talked to me asking for a donation for battered women and children. This organization *don't remember specifically who they are* is NOT on my list of donations. I asked to be removed from their calling list. I just received another hangup from them! One more and I'll call the police. They take care of it as they have in similar situations. Very annoying!
I thought charities and telemarketers weren't supposed to call on Sunday, but this number just called me, I answered because it looked like a local number and I thought it could be someone I knew, even though it said unknown name on the caller id. I said hello and got a hang up. This number will go on my list of blocked calls.
my husband answered and they asked for me, he asked who it was and thought they said Hoover Police and then they hung up on him. This umber calls constantly. I ignore the call when I see it pop up on caller id. More AL police solicitations again.
