Who called from 7049789878

yet another likely scammer selling "free vacation opportunities"... and dialing for dollars in direct violation of US Law... the do not call law.  The fact that they are willingly operating in violation of US law is reason enough not to trust them.

Just got this call at 2:54 pm. I answered only because it was a local number....grrrrr. There was a recorded voice saying something about my credit card account not being urgent but they need to get in touch. I hung up. Number is on the blocked list in my phone now.

Why cant the phone company recognize these predators and stop called before the com in

But you don't have to call back, which is worse than answering in the first place.

Because in many cases the caller ID is chosen or changed on the fly, and is faked to begin with.
