Call blocker might be of some help. Also don't pick up on numbers you do not recognize, or where there are caller IDs that seem odd. Or where there is no caller ID.
Received a call from this number and noticed that it wasn't a NJ area code, so I was hesitant to answer. I answered and with a firm voice he asked for the head of the household, told him he was not available. He tried hanging up and I asked him who he was and gave me a very common name saying he was with the New Jersey State Trooper Association. Knew he was BSing me and refused to leave a message, and hung up in my face.
They keep calling and the caller ID says I. They never leave a message and we never answer the phone for this number. They call every day all different times of the day and night. Doesn't matter who they are or what they want as they are not going to get anything out of us. I truly don't understand why you register your number with the Do Not call registry and still receive calls from such unsolicited people or associations. This is truly not right. Another thing I would like to add is when you have a private number and pay for it, they still have access to it, yet you cannot find out who these people are. How in the world is that fair or right? These people should be held accountable for their actions and all the others who do the same thing. That is my opinion though.
Caller ID just shows "I", but a local number, so I answered, even tho it was before 8:30 am! I have an elderly parent who has been in the hospital, so....
A male voice asked for my spouse by 1st name, as if he knew him. I asked who it was calling & he launched into what sounded like a recording. He is calling on behalf on the TX State Trooper Asso.... SURE! Told him to remove us from his list.
