It has gotten to the point where we do not bother to answer the phone at all if the area code begins with 8xx
Here are a bunch we do not answer because they are all junk:
We are on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY. I answer these calls and then they hang up. I call them back and they indicate that we have to be removed from THEIR list by pressing 2, and then telling you it may take up to 48hrs to remove it! SCAMS!
Same Goggle scum bags with a different number. We no longer pick up the phone or leave the ringer on that we can hear and always let the answering pick it up. Most people that call for a legit reason will leave their telephone number so we can call them back. If not its a telemarketing call and we don't even know they called. It has increased productivity in the office so much that other businesses are now doing the same thing.
everyday get a call from google to update my listing - I usually just hang up - today I actually pressed 1 for an agent to see whats the deal is got a series of clicks then a dial tone!!!
Yet another call about updating our Google listing. I always press 2 to be removed from the call list, but the calls just keep coming albeit from a different number.
