A man with a very thick Indian accent has been calling me all day, every hour, from this phone number. At this point, I wish I could reach through my phone and [***] slap him. When I've managed to keep him on the line, I've told him to remove me from his call list and that I'm reporting the number. He hung up, and then called me again about an hour later. Now I'm continuing to get the calls, but no one is responding when I answer my phone.
I think this number was the start of a weekend of hell for calls every half hour and no one on the line. When this number quit other numbers took over like 917-398-5568, 805-309-5305 and 561-463-5521. Since I have been on the National No Call list since its beginning I have reported all these numbers. In between these calls there were others marked Anonymous or Private and I don't know how you get rid of these. It must be costing these people money when my Message Machine comes on and they don't leave any message but they don't hang up that fast. So my advice to everyone is let your Machine pick all calls up until we get rid of these idiots.
Something soooo bizarre is going on...why are we all the sudden getting numbers from these weird area codes that we cannot call back or even validate?
Everytime they call, I SCREAM 'don't ever call this number again' and then hang up.
Another suggestion is a phone app that is WONDERFUL for blocking these imbeciles, its called Extreme Call Blocker:
Its about $6 and worth EVERY penny. I'm going to set it up with a false answer and they'll hear a loud, high pitched squeal when they call....or maybe I'll do pots and pans clattering...
