Saw as wireless caller on id. Answered the phone it was for a medical alert equipment. Hung up. Called back. I heard an automated message that this was a disconnected Verizon cell number. Ok now time to notify Verizon about their numbers being used for scams!! Somebody has to take responsibility for these calls. I also get them on the cell phone so getting rid of home phone would not help. Block all you want. They switch numbers constantly to keep from getting prosecuted as scammers. Is there anyone out there with legal advice on how to report this to someone who will actually do something about it? DoNotCall list is useless as we have all ascertained.
Scam selling Medic Alert. Many calls for past month. One caller called me twice from New Jersey (selling Medic Alert). On the second call I told her I would report her if she did not stop calling me. She called me all types of names ( unacceptable language) then she said I have your address and I will hunt you down and kill you.
I just block all the calls now after I listen to the message. I am in business and have to really listed to the messages from the caller. A real problem when you are expecting calls and you have to monitor your incoming calls. I am on the Do Not Call list but this does not make a difference. I keep receiving calls.
Ouch! Just now got this call which woke me up from a much-needed nap, and while I was tempted to pick up because it said "Wireless Caller," (and I didn't think these horrible people used cell phones to hawk their wares), I repeated my mantra to myself: "If it's from someone you know, they'll leave a message."
I am so glad I did not pick up. Thank you everyone for posting--it is such a help to be able to tell which numbers to block.
