Ichy is correct - NEVER ANSWER UNKNOWN CALLS - EVER!
THESE ARE CRIMINALS THAT ARE CALLING YOU!!!
NEVER CALL THE NUMBER BACK AND NEVER "PRESS ONE TO BE REMOVED!"
IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE FOLKS!!!
We have the Di*it**e call blocker on all our phone lines.
The Di*it**e is unique in that we can block entire area codes as well as full telephone numbers.
Currently, we have over 210 area codes blocked.
This number has never called us before but because we have the ENTIRE 720 AREA CODE BLOCKED, no matter what number they call from, THEIR CALLS CANNOT RING THROUGH!
OUR PHONES DO NOT RING AND OUR HOME IS NOT DISTURBED BY THEIR CALLS!
Please purchase a call blocking phone or device - they work and they are inexpensive
Bridget called again, Credit Card scammer ... Press 1 to speak to a rep, 3 to be taken off the call list. Ya, right. Press anything and let them know they hit a live person. Claim to lower interest down to 1%. I would love to waste their time but they hang up. Dang...
Same scum, different Spoofed number - 720-580-1563 Caller ID "Unavailable" & "32778"- Typical scum bag human sewage scam call... Augmented the "big red button" call blocker with a Sentry Ver 2.2 Call Blocker about a month ago - the Sentry is the newest form and has better tech than the old reliable CPR Big Red Button Ver2 Blocker that's been in service since late June '14. The Sentry blocks ALL the incoming trash that's hit it so far, if it maintains the length of service the CPR has demonstrated it is the better unit to have... Having both does have a few nice effects - the CPR keeps a running total on what number has called how may times - current "winner" is 43 calls blocked from the same number.
Tempting as it might be, it's best to NEVER answer these turd's calls and engage them - it only puts your number on the auto dialer's "call more" list since it confirms the auto dialed number used is a "live number" with a possible sucker on the end... They could not give a crap less if you ask to be "Taken off the list...."
Too bad there is no listing in the "Call Type" that actually matches the real manner of the scum making the calls - there should be at least "Scammer" in the list.... Some where there may be an actual valid telemarketer making unwanted calls...and that's the only case that "telemarketer" really fits...
