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.
Got this call again today at 12:17PM EST caller ID read 1-415-6695685 from INVERNESS, CA. did not pick up and no message was left.
I get these calls a lot. Not more than a few times a week though, luckily. It happens late evenings as well. I was ignoring the CA numbers because I was afraid of an insane friend that I'm trying to LOSE contact with who lives in that area. Now I know to just hit the on/off button when this happens. Sitting through the ringing is annoying.
Got a call and caller ID showed it as Out Of Area 1-415-669-5685 but the software I use to block calls showed it as Verizon 1-410-910-0623. So they had spoofed the number for caller ID. Of course I blocked both numbers.
I received a call today asking for my name and the man mispronounced my last name. I said this is her and he hung up. Caller ID shows from (415)669-5685. How rude.
Just now got a call on my cell phone from 415-669-5685. Caller ID says "San Francisco/North Bay Area." I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize, and after having looked it up here, I'm glad.
