Caller immediately hung up when I answered. I called the number from my cell phone, and it immediately went to a voice mail message that said, "Thank you for calling back." If you are not interested in our promotions and wish to be put on our 'do-not-call list', please press 1 now..."
I never oblige these message requests with a response. I want them to think that I dialed a wrong number, thus not confirming their initial call to me. That would give them both my cell# and my landline# that they originally called.
Short answer is no. What got me scratching my head is that you were more concerned about racking up a phone bill than the fact a indian accented person with an American name called you from a bank that you probably know their number by hard? Either case be glad you did not give that sensitive information out.
no i would never give them any info...they all seem to know i am an old person and therefore stupid...surprise!! I am not concerned about a phone bill...the evening news says this is another scam...they get you to call them back (sometimes they only let your phone ring one ring) and when you do, the call is billed to you...do not ever call back a number out of curiosity.
I totally get what you are saying. I heard of cases of these type of people calling from one number for you to call another one. I think that is what they call slamming. I try my best to keep the senior members of my family alerts to all types of scams and believe me these clowns try and up their game to get your money. Thanks for clarifying for me!!
you can’t block them (well you can block that one number)...but the autodialer just shows another number is calling.
I used to go on my account and block the numbers, but within the week i was getting the same calls from a different number
so i have given up
