A call from this Anaheim VOIP number arrived today. When the call rolled to voice mail, the caller left no message, just dead space. This is typical of robocallers (unlawful telemarketers) who use automated dialers to troll the phone lines seeking to spam gullible victims. That may or may not be the case in this instance, but it validates the wisdom of letting the answering machine take calls from unfamiliar numbers.
The caller identified as calling on behalf of FOP or something like that on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't let him talk about why he was calling. Then he started laughing like a crazy maniac and stopped after may be 15 seconds of that nonsense. Then, he was silent for a few moments before disconnecting the telephone.
Hopefully, that experience will make them think twice before calling again or will get the same treatment again and again. I am sure what he wanted was to beg for money, since I know he wan't calling for my benefit in any way as he doesn't know me and I don;t know that idiot neither!
