Unfortunately, by interacting with them, (most likely scammers in another country routing calls through a computer), you've confirmed that you are in fact a human being with a working number--the best thing to do with these calls is to hang up immediately and if you have a cell phone, block them. They'll probably be calling you again through another number. They make number spoofing programs so these same people can keep harrassing you, but it'll be a different number each time--some of them might even spoof legitimate numbers.
Always have to be super careful to not give out any information, or interact with these kinds of people in any way.
It remains to be seen if that really works or not. I would bet it doesn't, Because when these parasites get Our numbers they rarely if ever stop calling.
I am still get calls from these same people I told to stop calling or pressed 1,5 or 9 for them to stop calling years ago.
The next best thing is give up all phones all together, And in this day and age that would be impossible.
Don't know who it was.....but I don't know anyone in New Jersey, which is where the call came from. I didn't answer it and then went back to my Recent Calls and Blocked the number.
