I got a call from this number every day all day so i finally answered and didnt give them a chance to say nothing told them to stop calling me they better listen next time im not gonna b so nice :P
This number calls me all day long. So I finally called back to tell them to take me off the list and the guy says something like "well your number is probably all over the internet so everyone is going to call you" and he didn't even take me off the list or tell me he would, he just hung up on me all rude. So I called back and he hung up again and again. So I called again and again like they do to me and he was all "Lady you keep on calling and I already took you off the list so stop calling here when your all complaining that we are always calling you, now you are doing the same thing to us!" Heck yes I am gonna call and bug the crap out of you after you call me at 6am, 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm. Like they think they are the only ones who can call and bug. Finally when I called for the 5th time I got a nice lady who actually took me off the list and didn't just lie!
P.S. If they call you all day call them back all day long, trust me I did it and it bugged the crap out of them! And maybe post their number on Craigslist if they don't stop!
Your "solution" to handling the problem is interesting.
However, scammers can now spoof the phone number you see on your Caller ID, so you might be calling the wrong person, if you try that solution with all callers.
