I get at least 20 phone calls a week from scammers.before you say anything I do not answer my phone I just leave a Funny Lizzie Borden message on my machine,Soon as I say I do not talk to scammers or telemarketers they hang up ,then again I get some jerks who let the entire message go through and then they dont leave a message,Now I got Comcast bugging me and I paid my bill.I will not tolerate scammers and believe me I know who they are.If you every get a phone call from someone and they wont leave a message and if you have caller Id just look at the number type it up and the number will tell u whether they are scams or not.I do know that sometimes these callers just freak me out and I get scared.I dont know why but I just got one again and I am anxious.Please be careful with these scammers.Just because I am old they think I am stupid I am not.

It's not just phone calls, I get email scams in my email as well. I just don't answer the phone to unknown numbers and I don't open emails if I don't know who they are from. They get deleted.

Yes, they do come to emails as well. But most of those gmail automatically sends to my Spam folder and I never even see them. I used my email to sign up for a lot of lists that I need to unsubscribe from.

My wife and i have a rule in our house. no one answers any phone calls they dont recognize the phone number. our phones also allow us to block calls. we hear the phone ring. check the number if its not a number we recognize then we wait for the message. if the message is from a robo call or telemarketer or scammer we add that number to our phones blocking list. the next time they call from that number they dont get our voicemail or us, they get the phone company's robo message that they are blocked and their call has been forwarded to the local phone company for investigation of violating the do not call registry, scams and unwanted telemarketing calls.
email same thing we mark the offending emails for our spam box and we never open them the email provider automatically deletes our spam box every day or two. our business line hardly ever gets hit by scammers and telemarketers. |
