Caller ID said "SPECIAL MESSAGE." Just an Obamacare spammer probably wanting to ripoff foolish people by 'helping' them sign up. As if Obamacare is not enough of a ripoff on its on!
Received a call yesterday. It rang 1-1/2 times (I didn't answer), I saw Caller I.D. as "Special Message" but then call disappeared because I signed up for nomorrobo.com. Guess it works. Wish it wouldn't ring at all, but I'm happy that it at least goes away rather quickly.
Robo call ID was "OOA" and appeared to be a more typical type of scam call. Blathered on about prescription drugs, but didn't pay any attention to what was being said. May be a coincidence, but have received less scam calls since I started answering the calls, and giving out a fake name and credit card number. Have tried everything else - not answering calls, and blocking as many as possible, and still was getting 5 or 6 calls a day. Takes a LONG time for me to give out all of my fake information, and is a hoot, to pretend to be dumber than a box of rocks. Probably shall go back to never answering unknown calls, but for now, the added quiet is nice.
