This number calls ten to twenty times per day, sometimes the calls are five minutes apart, never leaves a message on the answering machine, and now they hang up after three rings before the answering machine picks up. Says "Unknown Name" on caller ID, appears to be a landline in Atlanta area.
This #404-963-9643 keeps calling and never leaves a message (it's not important if they don't leave a message). They keep calling all day long. Sounds like the last message, if they are selling anything, I don't want to buy because their morals must be very low.
They've been calling about every 30 minutes for 4 hrs. Never speak when I answer, but will ask to speak to the head of the credit card division when leaving a message
Modern technology has given telescammers the tools to call you.
Since those telescammers are criminals, they ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The first thing to do is to get a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information, or visit your favorite sales site.

If you cannot afford or use such a tool, then:
* Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
* Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers! All that does is verify your phone number! And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.
* If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scammers" (or similar). Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group.
They call our business number about 10 times a day. They pretend to be your merchant service provider and get very defensive and rude when you ask them questions. We have requested to be removed many times. They hang up on us when we ask to speak to their supervisor. Why can't someone stop these people from wasting our time at work?
