I have received 4 or 5 calls from this number today and many more over the last few days saying I was approved for a $3000 loan for which I never applied.
I hate this! About 30 years ago, I tried to design a phone that would prevent this type of crap. I just hated being hassled about the time I sat down to dinner. The Technology wasn't ready at the time but today it would be a snap.
The Idea was to check the incoming call against the phone's internal phone list. If the called was on the list the call would go through and If not, the caller would get voice mail but the phone would not ring. When the owner reviewed the list of callers, they could save the desirable caller's name and number to the list and return the call with the press of a button. When making a call to a number not on the list the phone would ask if it should add the new number to the list. I'm too old and too broke, too do this now and I have other inventions in the works, but I hope someone does this thing if they haven't done it already.
