I've been getting one to three calls from these knuckleheads for the past week or two. No message left on the answering machine and only silence when I answer. I'll be transferring my phone service to google.com/voice which can easily block this type of harassment which Verizon is either unwilling or unable to do without charging a premium.
These idiots whoever they are having nothing better to do than annoy people. Some action from the FCC should be taken to stop these calls. I never answer the phone when I see numbers I do not recognize. 'DO NOT CALL" does not work...
