People calling your phone

Hate phone call scammers!

I don't mind.  I have an Iphone so if the number I don't recognize pops up, I don't answer it.

Must say i hate the phone i will scream whos idea was it to invent this phone loudly into a telemarketers  ear. I hardly ever answer and even when its someone i know i think about not answering.I take the phone off the hook at night cause yes they will call at 8am.

See, I don't get that.  Why do you have to scream in their ear? There are legit telemarketers who are just doing a job. They are not trying to scam you.  Either do not answer or politely tell them you are not interested.

Actually, I only have issues with telemarketers.  Regular legit people like family I am always glad they call.  It's why I leave my phone on all the time.  I get annoyed with my folks because they always have their's off and when I call them (especially in an emergency) I can't reach them.  When the phone goes off I just look at the number and if i don't recognize it I don't answer.  I figure if they are legit they will leave a message, in which case I add their number to my contacts.  If they aren't they won't and I block their number later. 

That's me.  If I don't know the number I don't answer.  I get upset with people who lie and say they are the IRS haha. I didn't answer a call a few days ago and googled the number and it was a guy from church. I called him back and yeah I admitted what I done. haha.  I added him to my contacts as well.

I get calls all the time from people that i don't know, I just don't answer, no name, I definitely don't answer

I agree with that.  If you have to block your name and number then I am not going to answer.

I do not get many calls from people I don't know. However, I do get lots of telemarketers. I even put my number on the do not call registry. That did not help any.

A lot of the calls are coming from other countries and apparently they do not have to abide by our do not call list.

I  a long time ago, had a nice little gift basket business, got going good enough i added a 800 number and the last 4 numbers  were GIFT !!  It was all well till a Insurance Company In FL  made a  mistake and printed their claim forms with my 800 number on it , so for the next 10 months i got hundreds of calls from people mad about there claims. My business was in my home and the number rang threw my home number ! What a night mare and back then 800 numbers were not cheap.  I have spent the most part of my life with goofy mix ups happening, you name it i bet its happened to me. I can't get mad any more over mix ups ..... i'd be mad all the time rather i now just laugh and tell people about it and make them laugh to tears!

I don't mind telemarketers, but I don't like scammers. I usually screen my phone calls, but it bugs me when I get a phone dcall from out of state and they won't leave a message, then they'll keep calling.

UGH I have been getting calls from the IRS and they are soooooo annoying, I know they are scammers and I have expressed that but the still call grrrrrrrrrrrr

[jwkelly]

yeah it's annoying,I either just hang up or tell them no thanks

[appy9104]

I don't answer unless I know the number,  I figure if it is not junk and something real/important they will leave a message.
