Do you know who called???? NEVER ANSWER IF YOU DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW THE CALLER. First-answering the phione tells the robo call computer that it just called a working phone number-and if you try to call an outbound call center-meaning that only calls from this center can call you-the computer again records your phone number as a "sucker" that is interested. They count on people wanting to know who and why they got a call. You just set yourself up for a lot of robo calls. Thats what voice mail is for. If there is no message that is also one of their tricks-they wnt you to TRY to call back. WATCH YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AND CREDIT CARDS.
Now counting more than 20 consecutive calls tonight, a new one ringing in as soon as I hang up. It's a robot offering a free cruise to the Bahamas in return for taking a survey on the phone, even offering to add other people to the cruise free. I tried going through their 3-question survey to get a live person at the end, but the robot hung up on me instead.
I've had single spam calls from them for weeks; this is the first time their computer has locked on my number.
Once you answer a robo call you have told the computer that you have a working number . If you try to call back yoou will never get through because it is a OUTBOUND CALL CENTER--meaning that calls from that center only make calls and do not acceppt incoming calls. Talking to them even to the computer, alerts the computer that it has called a sucker that is interested in the scam and you will continue to get MANY MORE calls from hundreds of differant phone numbers. Don't get excited--if it is a legitmate call they will leave a message. The do not call list does not apply to scammers.
