Got a call from this #, but missed it. Oh darn! How will we ever be able to go on with our lives?(Sarcastically)
We're Not looking for degrees in anything but a temperature increase so their # is going into our 'puters $hit Li$t of unwanted callers. We now have over 425 numbers blocked. Some of those are for whole exchanges (9,999 numbers) and some even block whole area codes (9,990,000 numbers) like the 202 area code that is notorious for Scammers, thieves and crooks. If THIS area code shows up on your CID, DO NOT Answer it!! See the "202 area code scam" information here on 800Notes.com
If you get calls from #'s you do not recognize, either just let it ring the normal 4 rings and they will hang up, or just pick up the receiver and Immediately hang it up again, do NOT say or do anything else at all, ... the "lift and drop method". If they can't get through, they can't do their job. Most of these calls originate from Telemarketing (TM) Call Centers or "boiler rooms" where they can call thousands of #'s at once and only pick-up on those that actually get answered. Many of them are scammers and crooks who will 'spoof' their CID name and # so you can't get their real information and location. (I wonder why they would do this. To protect their Lives maybe?)
Many of these calls are the illegal "cold Robo-calls" so you can yell and swear all you want but won't do any good, .... the machine you're yelling at can't hear you. Just hang up the phone and do NOT verify that a Real Person will Answer the phone, AND is Willing to Interact with the caller. That's worth more $$$ in the call centers bank account when they sell your active # to other TM's so THEY can call you, too. Can you say BOHICA? (Bend Over Here It Comes Again)
