Called while I was gone. Did not leave a message. I dialed the number back and got Angela at some breast cancer research organization wanting money. She apparently had caller ID as she knew my name.
A DNC list only works for legitimate business or organizations to not make calls to.
These robo-calls do not adhere to any specific regimen. They use the robo-caller that
has a "block" of numbers from which the units dial every number looking for "valid"
numbers. The instructions may be for (i.e.) 999.999.0000 to 9999....As each call is placed
and someone answers that is determined to be a "valid" call so that number gets moved
to another file and those numbers are sold to other robo-callers and there is the
proliferation.
IF YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE THE NUMBER DON'T ANSWER IT. IF SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO
MAKE CONTACT WITH YOU THEY WILL LEAVE A VM AND / OR SEND YOU A LETTER.
When I called the number back, it answered 'Jaycees'. ////////when I asked if this is the JC's, she hung up.
The above call was definitely a person familiar with my problem at the Callas Morning News. I did notice that the number that showed before I picked up the phone wa not the same number that now shows on my Caller Id.
