Jessica, what you just said makes your statement pure nonsense. In one breathe you say God forbid it's the hospital or something important and then you say you unplug your phone for the same reason harassment. I'm liking what the preson said, if you don't know the number don't answer. I have caller ID and voicemail if it's important or an emergency they will leave a message. Thanks
I agree, why answer the phone and get all mad for what? Doesn't mean you have to ignore the phone completely. I google the number first and every time it takes me to this website and not hard to tell it's a scam. It's a sad world we live in. What I do instead on my land line is go back in once the number is checked out, wipe out the caller id name and put in either "scam" or lately I put "Fuk U" spelled just like that. When they call back that is how my phone announces it and sound really defined being spelled that way. It really makes us laugh and no need to look at who it is because who has the time to get mad. We don't have little ears at home so no harm there. I'd rather do this than block the number. They will just call back using a different number. People who have elder parents living by themselves should check their caller id and change to "don't answer" for calls that are scams. For your cell phones get google voice number and give that out to people, doctors, forms, health, ect. Keep your cell phone number for family and friends only.
