Tellmarketers buy numbers that you give to stores you shop at or websits that require a phone #. In the very tiny microscopic print it says they reserve the right to sell your info, and you agree to it...now if they call you twice (same person) they can lose their tellmarketer license.
Just got my new phone number on Friday morning. Have not given it out to anyone that I can't trust. Don't know this number and I didn't answer. Just a waste of their time and energy. If I don't recognize a number, I don't answer. If it is someone I need to speak with and they start to record a message, I pick up and talk. Hope this number finds something better to do with their time than waste it.
