Answered the first call since it came from my local area code & resembles a number at my son's office. It was a long beep. I hung up & they proceeded to call back 3 more times in quick succession. I let all three go to vmail & all three messages were the same long beep. I put it on the blocked list after reading posts.
I've had this number show up on my caller id and my cell phone a few times. I won't answer it . . I've gotten to a point where if it is a number I don't know I'll leave it alone and if the caller leaves a message and it isn't junk but someone I know or was expecting a call from Then I'll call them back immediately.
So my suggestion to all of you reading my comment. Is just let the machines do the work for you and screen your calls. As I've had expereinces in the past with things causing me troubles when answering them.
