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.
interesting that others mentioned st judes...I had just been on their web site yesterday, after checking a friends obit stating donations to st judes would be appreciated. so did the funeral homes website somehow get my cell phone (unlikely), or did someone at st judes somehow track down my cell number, even though I never entered one character of info. too much of a co incidence.
I wished everyone would take your advice Sarah. Don't answer the damn phone. If it is someone I know that is really trying to get in touch with me they will either leave a message or call me on my cell. No message..delete the number DO NOT CALL IT BACK!!
