I get calls from "withheld" as the caller. Do they REALLY think I'm going to answer??

Got onetoo with our name and number on the caller id.

Oh yes, aren't those just so much fun? I get them all the time. I never answer anybody I don't know... thank goodness for caller ID.

I haven't had that happen, but since we moved to our apt. nearly 5 years ago we periodically will get calls for someone we do not know. You'd think they would give up by now, but they don't. We generally let the answering machine pick up unless I recognize the number, like my Dr.'s office. We keep a land line phone because our son pays for both of our cell phones, so we don't want to abuse the privilege. I love your cat, reminds me of my Casper, but he had lighter grey, almost like horns on his forehead, when I lost him I went from having a white cat to an all black cat, but they were and are a definite stress reliever. Cute kitty.

I answered and there was no one there.

Actually, there is an app for that if you have a smartphone. My DH told me, but I don't know what the name is.

That's because it's a robocall. The best way to handle those is not to say anything and the "robot" will hang up, or you hang up.

Have you noticed that these annoying calls seem to come in waves. For a couple months it will be car ins. then health ins. etc.. Now there's calls for home improvement -I bought a gallon of mistint paint at Lowe's and the calls started. Before that the brake lines on my car were all replaced and calls from outfits for care care ins? started. If my phone rings10 times a day 9 of them are from people trying to sell something. I love caller ID all I do now is look at the ID when its an 800# I click the phone on then off. I hate hearing a phone ring. In the time it's taken me to type this I've had 7 calls from the same # ID says auto ins. When my ins.co. calls their name is displayed.

I've gotten pesty emails where they change part of the addy but it is for the same thing and I block them. We have some numbers blocked on our phone and we are on the no caller list but scam artists don't care about that.

I got a text with a pic. I just replied" & u r?
