BE CAREFUL! I feel this is a SCAM. Received a call from this number today saying she was from Breast Cancer Financial Aid. She asked for me by name. I said "this is she" she said, "Oh, I will call you back later" I told her she could talk to me now and she just said she will call again later then hung up. I was suspicious of this call and when I dialed the number back, I could not get a connection.
I got a call on my work phone. First she asked for Marilyn or something, I said, "I'm sorry?" She VERY quickly said, "Oh, I'm sorry, will you go get the man of the house please?" I said no, this is a business. She said she would update her records and hung up quickly. Seemed very shady. That woman couldn't get a dime out of me!
I have an unlisted/private number!!!! I HATE unsolicited callers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY "NO PRIVACY" ANYMORE...... I DON'T CARE IF IT IS A ROBO CALL.. THE PHONE COMPANY SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO BLOCK THE NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These days the only ones that make telemarketing calls are criminals, both foreign & domestic. Please consider looking into call blocking equipment for a landline phone, app for a cell phone. After a while things go back to quiet.
Did you check to see with your phone company if you can block this number? Or did you mean that your phone company should pre-emptively block all numbers that you do not want calling you? How would that work? Are you going to provide a list of just the numbers allowed to call?
There is a free service you can subscribe to if your phone company supports simultaneous ring that will stop the majority of robo calls. Your phone rings once then disconnects the caller. Search on "No More Robo Calls". In addition to the service it will also bring up links to external call blockers which can also help.
And by the way, if you really mean pre-emptive blocking of all robo calls by the phone company they are prohibited from doing that under the regulations governing common carriers. They have a legal obligation to attempt to complete all calls as dialed.
