When you are pretty sure it a robo scammer,
1) either do not answer or
2) SCREAM int the phone "the job is done and there is BLOOD EVERYWHERE, the police are one their way." then hang up. Keep records to see if they ever call back.....or
3) "Stop calling sweet heart, I will Be there soon, I'll can't leave until my husband (or wife) goes to sleep," and hang up.. or
4) "your stupid wife (or husband) is at my door and I'm going to shoot her?
but it is best ot just do not pick it up, because that tells them it is a good number so they can sell it to another robo
Oh, your post at least made me laugh! I have a business line in my home and refuse to answer calls I don't recognize. I got a call from this number and, of course, as soon as my answering machine picked up this morning, they hung up. Yeah, definitely no brain cells left with those morons! It says a lot about the fact that someone would take a job making these annoying calls to people who don't want to be bothered. Bottom feeders.
Check these numbers online, when they're bogus, assign them to a listing on your cell phone like "Telemarketer" , then download a silent ringtone and assign it to that listing .... That way you will never hear it ring !!, Problem solved !!, My Telemarketers listing is at about a hundred entries by now .... ( most wont leave a message anyway )
Answer & hang up...number is out of Clinton, MD block 'em but they seem to find a way around it....have to answer due to it being a business phone...these scums need to get off their [***] and get a real job....
