Call came in from this number in Bristol, CT at 9:00 a.m. on a Monday morning. The male did not identify himself, but said I qualified for free drinks and all I could eat, then went on to say it also included 5 nights at Disney in Orlando, FL. I didn't answer any questions and said I had no interest in his offer, but he continued to speak over me. When he got to the part where he mentioned a credit card, I hung up. I was waiting to hear who he was with but didn't care to stay on the line to engage him in further conversation.
Same, called but no answer. They called twice today.
NEVER answer, even worse respond to, a number you do not recognize. Same as using the Unsubscribe for E-Mail, you are letting someone know that your phone number is a working number and they sell it to advertisers.
I created ZZZ as a contact and programmed it with a silent ringtone. Whenever I get a questionable call, I do not answer it and if I figure it to be a junk call, I save the phone number into ZZZ. This way, if they call again, I see ZZZ on my display and know not to answer it.
This was started over two years ago and I now have over 125 entries in ZZZ. I rarely ever see ZZZ on my phone. This proves that blocking these calls is worthless.
Just don't answer numbers you do not recognize. If it is important, they can leave a message.
Another one bites the dust thanks to my namesake web site. Go there and set up this call forwarding service and 99% of this nonsense stops immediately. The best part it's totally free of charge and is recommended by Comcast, the FCC, and consumers union /Consumer Reports just to name a few. Or you can keep running for the phone it's your choice!
