Unknown Caller shows up on the screen, so I do not answer. They leave no messages and have called landline and cell numbers. Apparently telemarketer. Have called at least four times. Persistent Buggers
I didn't recognize the #, but it was local so I answered. I could tell it was from a call center since I could hear other people making calls in the background. The caller immediately claimed he wasn't selling me anything, but he wanted to do a consumer survey about air purifiers. I immediately declined and hung up. I have an unlisted #, but the caller knew my first name which made me upset.
Just received this (Seattle area) local call today. As stated by "DL," I too could hear other people in the background and the caller, himself, breathed heavily into the phone for about 15 seconds before he hung up. Ever since I got our OOMA "telo" unit, we have received hundreds and hundreds of telemarketer/survey/ debt collector calls. I now suspect they released our number so we would keep buying their premium service (the only one that allows call blocking). Caveat emptor.
Bozo said that he was conducting a survey. No caller ID, and gee, if he didn't have an accent like so many of the scammers. I told the guy that I didn't like surveys, and since I wasn't the person he was officially calling, he started to tell me that it didn't matter. Today has been a banner day for the scam calls, and this appeared to be yet another one. Can't say enough bad things about these scumbags.
Rec'd call 4/28/15 @ approx 11am. Did not recognize number so did not answer. However did retrieve the phone number and called back where I got the following msg "The person you are calling has do not disturbed activated and is not accepting msg's".
I couldn't leave a msg after hearing that even if I wanted to, as I was Speechless. {Heaven forbid, don't disturb them}}
