My caller (yesterday) offered to reduce my CC debt and stop creditors from harassing. When I told him "No thanks," he politely thanked me for answering his call and hung up. Scammer or not, at least he was very polite. I don't care how many times the scammers call. 99 out of 100 times the answering machine handles it, but every once in a while if I'm near the phone, my curiosity will get the better of me.
If I don't recognize the number I let the phone ring. These folks call 3-4 times every day, tired of the calls but they will cease in about a week. It's been so bad between them and others I turned off ringer, if I see phone light up I check but 10 times out of 10 it's a nuisance call. The worst thing you can do is call back the number, it prompts more calls, if possible just let the dog gone thing ring.
We get the probes daily just block them as soon as they appear ,never answer these calls will only increase your volume..got a call that looked like a local number this week ,I think that will be the trend in the future ..I hope their scam center burns down ..BLOCKED ...
