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.
Received call today, they asked for my name, and as soon as I gave it, they proceeded to hang up!? When I called back the number, the legitimate-sounding answering machine said they're a company that calls for various charitable and political organizations.
called my cell phone and left no message on voice mail. When I called the number back, it didn't eve ring and she asked Is this and said my exact name. I hung up.
