An unwanted call from this Virgina VOIP number arrived today. When the answering machine picked up, the caller hung up. Robocallers (unlawful telemarketers) hate reaching answering devices while they are trolling the phones, desperately seeking gullible schmucks to victimize.
Many posters report the caller is Medicare Seniors, possibly one of many Medicare crooks who collectively steal $60 billion per year from taxpayers by scamming the system. Telecriminals like this are the reason you should LET YOUR ANSWERING MACHINE TAKE THEIR PATHETIC CALLS.
David Greene calling from Medicare Seniors...thinks that identifying himself with a government agency will get his foot in the door, but this is simply a telemarketer who is looking for a sale. I have told them nicely and then again as firmly as I can, to remove my number from their calling list. They are wasting MY time as well as theirs. He said he was very sorry and hung up...but did not say that he would take the steps to honor my request. I have blocked his number but have no doubt that they have numerous outdials at their disposal.
