I get 2-3 of those a day sometimes. I don't answer the phone any more unless I know the number. Thats why I have voicemail.

I got junk call from the IRS telling me that they were coming to arrest me unless I called the number they left on my answering machine. Idiots! The IRS never calls, they send a letter.

Got calls from my area code stating I had won $25000 in a sweepstakes contest I had entered....maybe at a gas station or convenience store. I don't think so....never registered for anything. The only reason I answered is because I thought it could be possibly my daughter calling from someone else's phone...because she is bad about letting her phone die on her. I'm sooooo disgusted with all the attempts to scam people we have to deal with on a daily basis!!!!

Sorry to hear another scam. These people have too much time on their hands. I received a scam call from my own home number on my home phone. Scary.

Yes. I have been getting those also! Geez. I let it ring and then call back to make sure it wasn't a doctor or something important. I then write the # on a list to not answer that # .

I block numbers immediately when it's spam. Easy to do on Iphone. I have more blocked numbers then contact numbers. LOL

Yes it is a big scam. It was on the news in Florida. They are evening trying to record you saying hello according
to the news. Unbelievable we have to now worry about saying hello!!

My DH loves to answer the spam phone calls in the voice of the Mexican cleaning lady on the Family Guy TV show. It always throws the telemarketer for a loop! He can imitate the voice perfectly and just says, "No, no, Mr. ------ not here. I need more lemon pledge." The reactions are always totally lost for words!

this one is dangerous. Our prefix is 751, and we are now getting dozens of these calls a day. Rob has voice mail, so if any are legit they can leave a message. I don't, don't answer and then block the number.

But... I was waiting for imagining to call me to set up ct's for my oncology doctor. They said they couldn't get thorough and mailed me a number to call. They, and 90% of the people around me have 751 prefixes.

I wish there was a real person to complain about too...
this was promising but haven't heard any follow up

Exactly my thoughts. People who know me, know I don't answer the phone a lot and will leave a message for me to get back to them.
