For those of you asking how someone can leave a vm on your phone without making it ring, Lu answers this question if you go back to page 2 and read the comments there. According to Lu, an app called SlyDial lets you leave a message without ringing the phone -which would be fine if it were from a friend, but it's creepy from a telemarketer/scammer!
www.slydial.com if you want to read more about them
More importantly, I wanted to know if there was a way to block unwanted people from using SlyDial to leave messages again ... I'm on Verizon, so I'm pasting what they had to say about SlyDial below... Hope this helps!

"Hello KCMO2. That definitely is a phishing scam site, so good eye and judgement in not visiting that site. With regards to a possible block this may work: if your phone allows you to block a contact from your phonebook, create a contact for Slydial using this number - 267-Sly-Dial (267-759-3425)
This may work, and is worth a shot.
Keep us posted if you get any others, or if this helps.
Charles from Obamacare open enrollment center left a message for my son that he needed to call him. Wanted to make sure he had insurance yet. Wanted him to call back to get a no-obligation quote to get covered. The number he provided is 347-215-30027.
Guy left me a vm, said he was checking to see if my insurance is up to snuff with Obama Care. 1. It's called the Affordable Care Act and they don't have people calling you to check out your "Obama Care." Made it an easy call to block.
I received a vm today about 3:40. The caller name was Charles from this new york number 347-215-3027. He stated he was calling from the local obamacare open enrollment center and my number was on his desk for him to give a call. He kept saying um and pausing alot. He then said my number was E477 and he asked me to call him directly at 888-575-1448. So I can registered for Obamacare insurance. I already have insurance so I googled the numbers and I'm glad I did. This is crazy!
