The best thing to do is not answer - period. Block the call if you can. But once you answer they know they have a good number. Asking them to put you on their do not call list is a joke. If they were legitimate and you are on the national DNC list they wouldn't call in the first place.
Previously Blacklisted Medic Alert scammers continue to call and cant get through.
10/13/2014 @ 07:21 PM. Caller ID shows V10131921220043. They switch back and forth between the V number format and Frederick MD. Calls are blocks regardless because it blocks the number not the Caller ID.
Same message about Life Alert I have personally blocked multiple numbers from the same caller as well as per their recording * PRESS 5 to be Removed !! Called the number back about 20 times and per instructions entered the proper # as instructed to be removed from their calling list earlier today !! Interesting just called the number and now only hear silence !! lol !! Maybe they blocked me from calling them !!

10/14/2014 @ 05:41 PM. Caller ID shows V10141741410043. They switch back and forth between the V number format and Frederick MD. Calls are blocked regardless because it blocks the number, not the Caller ID.
The end of the V number is constant 0043. The front portion is the date and military time from the timezone the call was made. This changes every second as time passes.
1014 is Oct 14th
174141 is 5:41:41 PM EST.
0043 is the robo caller ID I believe.
Tele-terrorist called again on 10/14/2014 @ 05:41 PM from Frederick, MD. Caller ID shows Frederick, MD. Since they call multiple times a day and I was home I answered and gave the woman a piece of my mind. I hope I ruined her day, but she probably hears it all day long. It don't expect they will stop calling. I could go beyond Blacklisting the number and block it, but I think I will politely waste 10 minutes of their time everything they call back.
