I got a call from this number today and because I recognize the area code, thought it might be someone I knew so I answered it. The woman who called spoke very broken English. She asked for me by name and mangled my name badly. I told her that when she learned how to pronounce the name correctly, I'd respond...then hung up and blocked the number. I doubt she understood what I said, but it gave me a little pleasure!
I don't think blocking all of those area codes is a good idea. A few of those are Chicagoland area codes. I live in the Chicago area and that would block almost all of my calls.
I did just get a call from this number though, didn't answer and no voicemail was left. I'll just block the number.
Yes & no. Remember you can block the area codes, but whitelist the numbers you want to come through. Local caller ID is becoming the norm for foreign & domestic criminals. People won't take a 1-800 call, but they'll take a local call. That's why the crooks do it.
