Called the lan line today with a caller id of Nice Systems. Left no message. Companies with valid business leave messages , telemarketers and scammers don't. Went on my block list.
Don't answer calls I don't recognize and let them go to answering machine. Most unwanted callers hang up immediately. Got one from 972-301-1798 with caller ID "IEX Corp." Caller hung up, no message.
Called back - "Can I speak with the Owner?" and so I know immediately is another scummy telemarketer. Asked who they were and they almost hung up on me. Called the company just as "Express", and they are a Merchant Provider. Oh boy, not another one.
Have they not learned that starting your conversation immediately with "Can I speak with the Owner" is a major trigger for any Gatekeeper that this call can safely be ignored?
