person called my cell and I didn't answer. thought I would look it up and Voila lots of people today from all over getting calls. My guess is that they are pulling numbers off the internet some way and cold calling them to initiate a scam. ' read the other comments' could be they have an auto dialer and are too busy scamming at times to talk to the next person dailed. just report them and they will have to work harder.
We are continuously receiving phone calls about lowering interest rates on our credit cards. We do not keep any balances. Each time they call we opt out yet they continue to call. The problem is they keep changing their number or it is blocked. our answering machine usually picks up. The two most frequent numbers are 1(877)723-1419 and 1(406) 623-3644. They have now started calling on oour cell phones which wastes our minutes. How do we stop them? I even tried having our phone carrier blocking calls from unknown and they got around the block. The calls sometimes occur 4-5 times a day.
Received a call at 5:36 PM CST today, March 8th. They left no message, as they called my business cell phone number. I don't have a "smart" phone.
These people don't know our numbers. But it is relatively easy to determine what exchanges (the first six digits) belong to cell phone numbers. Once those are known, it's a simple matter to start robo-dialing the numbers XXX-XXX-0000 through XXX-XXX-9999 and hitting all ten thousand cell phones in that block.
People... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER answer a call from a number you do not recognize. Most every phone made in the last ten years gives the phone number of the caller. There is no excuse for answering these random calls. Once you answer, they will know your number is legitimate, and they will continue to call, forever. Let it go to voicemail, then delete the voicemail without listening to it, which will save you your minutes.
