Have been getting calls from this number for several days now. Answered a few times with no one on the other end. Today a woman with an Asian accent responded and said that they were calling about a weight-loss formula.
I have gotten 5 calls from this number in a 4 hour span. When I answer they don't say anything. When i call the number back my phone shuts off automatically after 30 seconds and oit never rings back to them.
They are phishers. The call list originates at junk collectors. They use these automated calls to confirm contact numbers of people they are collecting on. This is how they establish that you exist and are not out of the country or dead. As long as you exist, your debt never dies, and therefore is fair game. Check your state's laws on defaulted debt.
You can only block the call from ringing and accepting voice mail. But it will always connect to your number. If you pay per call, it will hurt your wallet. They want you to surrender.
