DO NOT ANSWER PHONE....DO NOT CALL BACK....THEY DON'T CARE..
THEY ARE FISHING FOR VIABLE PHONE NUMBERS AND WHEN YOU ANSWER THAT JUST VERIFIES YOU OWN THE PHONE......DON'T PRESS "1". Either . That lets them get more info....they then sell your number to other companies and you wind up getting more calls. It's annoying for sure but just let it ring, after awhile calls will decrease....I only get maybe 3 a week. Now...just steel yourself, don't answer, check your caller ID. Most of the time they are robocalls....why do you think most don't speak.....they just want viable numbers which you give them when you answer or call back.
I have been receiving calls from this number for several weeks, but have not answered them because of Caller ID. I answered this morning to ask them to remove my number from their call list, but the caller immediately hung up on me. I called the number back and was disconnected immediately the first time. When I called back there was a recording that identified the organization as MDS Communications and they gave the option of speaking with someone or adding your number to their do-not-call list. So, I added my number to their do-not-call list. They said it would take 24 hours...we will see. Easy peasy. Try it. Or go to their website as the person above recommends.
i make it a habit of not answering the phone when i do not recognize the area code - but as we say in ny "if the [***] calls again, i will jack her [***] up"
