Twice today the phone rang and upon answering it there was dead silence. This is extremely annoying and can be dangerous to elderly people. I want these idiotic calls to stop. Caller ID said J. Bent.
I just got a call from 850-629-6358 claiming to be Florida Department of Health, wanting me to participate in a survey. They finally hung up without saying more.
I answered this call at 9 PM, because it looked like a local call in my area code.
I could hear a voice, for a fraction of a second. I said hello and caller hung up?
I am on the National Do Not Call List!!
How does this happen?!?!
Thieves and crooks have no regards for any laws or lists, that list is regarded by law abiding telemarketing ONLY. Not bill collectors, political calls, surveys, fundraising, or con artists. Callers spoof local numbers to better their chances at getting a live voice or any answer at all. Without numbers they know have an answer, pretty hard to survive as a telepest. No kind of answer is not what they're looking for. They get enough of those, it's impossible to do anything.
I have this number blocked, but the calls are still very annoying. The calls are 3 or 4 times a day. The first 2 times are usually within a couple of minutes.
