i asked several times what company they were with, and the just said "automated accounts, i hung up, and added to my " do not call list" on my phone...my phone will no longer answer/ring should they call
If the phone your getting calls on is a smartphone, a much better plan is get the FREE APP "whitepages caller ID"
and simply block them. The APP is also smart enough to know reported "spam" calls and auto block them for you.
If the APP gets it wrong a simple click on "Not Spam" will unblock it.
They called asking if this was a cell phone or a land line? Wanting to know if I was using someone elses cell phone? Said they would call back later. Came up as Automated Accounts on caller ID. They acted like they were a "friend" and did not act like a collection agency.
