calls everyday 4 rings then hangs up...caller Id says WINNER...I'M SICK OF THIS CRAP!!! CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE BATHROOM WITH THE DAMN PHONE RINGING FROM THIS NUMBER
It won't work. By doing what you did you effectively told them that the number they called has a warm body on the other end so they will add it to their list of "valid numbers that people answer" that they sell on the "bottom feeders black market". The volume of these type calls are likely to increase although you may not hear from the original offender again. GOOD LUCK!
Sometime ago their was a scam IF you pressed a number to be deleted from their list they somehow were able to get into your phone and rack up a heck of a bill. Do not ask me how! I call my phone Co. because I had answered a question or whatever by punching a number (I found out after the fact by looking numbers up on the computer--maybe even here.) Anyhow I told the phone Co, what I had done AND read. I was on the phone quite awhile. When the person came black we put a block on my phone service that can only be changed by a pass word so I don't think the information was incorrect.. I am on the do not call list. This number was touting security systems ha ha. I'm not happy these unwanted call still get thru they are a pain and I am sure they pray on senior. (IF they were on the up and up they would'nt be bypassing the do not call!)
Never push 1 to get off the list or get a person. We did that and we got even more calls from them because they know it's a legitimate number. I just put in complaints to the no calls lists and hope they get enough to go after them. This one let my phone ring a very long time and my machine didn't pick up.
