You should never answer calls from unknown numbers. First, they'll never take you off their call list. Second, answering confirms a working number and gets you added to lists passed around among scammers. Third, they don't care how old you are.
Just block and ignore calls from unknown phone numbers.
I picked up (I am trying to pick up all numbers to inform them to remove me).
The automated voice came on and said that I have been approved for some sort of Obamacare student loan program. Press 1 to be connected, 2 to disconnect. --- THERE WAS NO PRESS 3 TO BE REMOVED.
I pressed 1. I was connected.
The woman came on and did her speech.
I replied with -
I am 14 years old and not even in high school yet. I don't have any student loans but my mommy said to tell you that you are to remove me from your call list.
The woman said ---
Remove you from our list? That makes no sense.
Then she hung up on me.
Well your first mistake is picking up and expecting them to remove your number. Your actions are causing you to get more calls. Simply download a free call blocking app and block them.
