The number 847-850-0782 keeps calling my cell phone number and will not leave a message. When I try calling the number back, I get an ongoing busy signal. This number calls me at least 2 to 3 times a week. Who are these people?
It's a Collector. They know you are smart and won't pick up an 800-number. So the Collectors are now hiding behind "local" (unlisted) phone numbers. Do what I do. Only pick up numbers from your phone book (friends, relatives, etc). Otherwise, let the call go straight to voice-mail. If it's an "important call", they will a voice mail. But with the Collectors, they rarely leave any voice-mail.
