If I don't recognized the number, I just do not answer. I then research it. I Got a call from this number. ID said US Government; however, I knew it wasn't a government number for the simple reason that the "281" part of the number is a number from my own area. I did a reverse check and it came back to a resident and an individual, with his name and address, who lives maybe 5-8 driving minutes from my house. Blocked.
