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.
Annoying. Why can't this be stopped? There are laws and regulations for everything in the world. Why not unwanted phone calls. Belong to Do Not Call List. What's the use.
Got a call from the aforementioned number. I didn't pick up, as I always do when I don't know the caller.
Researched, found this post, blocked. End of the story.
Call hang up at 231 pm PST. IF you answer your number is "alive" and sold to others. Never answer these perverts. Report them. As for why can't they be stopped -- simple: crooks do not abide by do not call lists or laws do they? Isn't that why they are called crooks and scammers? They want to sucker in the elderly and infirm. Tell them never to respond to these calls. Protect them. As for why people who use the internet and use sites like this have no clue that they are crooks and are breaking laws and continually whine -- why don't they stop them since I am on the do not call list -- hello. Repeat: Crooks do not abide by laws. Report them report them report them. There was a massive group that finally got caught a couple weeks ago. You know the one: you were referred by a medical practitioner or family member for a free med alert .... busted at last! They changed their number at least once a month. Now, hopefully, the majority of those stupid scam calls will stop. Do not whine -- report!
Woman called from this number at 9:01 a.m.
I really am sick of scammers, so now I mess with them. Today I pretended I was sleeping. Said, 'hello,' barely. lol.
She asked for a relative by name. I said, 'not here.' She mumbled something but I disconnected.
Do Not Call List is a joke. We get more calls since we've signed up than ever.
At 3:13 pm EST I had the same call arrive today. Did the same - while it was ringing I looked it up here. Let it ring until it quit. Now blocked. Thanks 800notes!
