Michael, I totally agree with you. Why do people need to pick up the phone!!?? These are filthy maggots that call us. If nobody picked up, these hoodlums would be out of business.
I got these same kinds of calls until one time when I pressed the button they said and actually got a real person on the other end. The first thing I said was, would you please hold for a second while I turn on my recorder so I can tape this call. They hung up and I don't think I've gotten a call back from this number. I'm going to do it with any of these kinds of calls and see what happens, maybe you should try it, who know's it may just work.
