got a call from this number this afternoon. No message left. I am on the dnc list also, but signing onto the list was a huge waste of time. The number of unwanted calls I get are ridiculous.
You cannot talk to these people like you would normal people. They are criminals and sociopaths.
Never engage them in conversation.
Hang up the call. Let all subsequent calls go to voice mail or an answering machine.
Legitimate callers will leave a message.
You will have to do this for a long time until they stop calling the number because they get no response, and besides, there are millions of other numbers to be calling.
You must be very young.
I got a call and a telemarketer began his spiel.
I told him I was expecting another call and hung up on him.
He called me back and cursed me, and then hung up.
This was in 1996.
Left a message stating that they are responding to my phone call to them from a TV offer I responded to. Yea right! I DO NOT respond to TV commercials. I guess they also hope I cannot remember from one minute to the next.
We got a call from this number today at 10:41 am and didn't answer. The caller ID was Harrisonburg Virginia. A voice mail message was left regarding a TV ad for a back brace to which I had supposedly responded. The number will be added to our call blocker. I highly recommend such a device to avoid these nuisances.
