(Tina who said she's able to look up exactly who called and reprimand. More importantly, she's removing me from their list.)
So how can she "look up" the number if she isn't in on the scam?!?! Now they have your verified number and maybe your name. They remove it from their list and sell it to another scumbag telemarketer.
Do not answer and do not call back if it's an unknown number. If legit, they leave voice mail. And then, maybe...
I let the phone go to answer, but no message was left. Since I have a Panasonic phone that allows local blocking, I will add this number to the blocked call list.
