Why Do People Usually Refuse To Answer Unknown Number Calls? |
Re: Do You Answer Unknown Number Phone Calls? by yvonne101: 2:04pm On Sep 03, 2012 |
I see your point. But I'm afraid it's different for me. When I get anonymous calls, they always turn out to be mostly from telemarketers. At other times, they're from misleading solicitors. There was even a time when it was a scammer who tried to scare me about a virus in my computer. So you see, it's always a nuisance call. But I agree with you, though, when you said an anonymous call might be important. I guess that's where voicemail is most helpful. If it is important, the caller can leave a message so I can call back if necessary. 1 Like |

I'm just really tired of dealing with nuisance callers, especially telemarketers. They talk a lot and they make it really hard for you to say 'NO.' And one thing I observed, when they call you the first time and you answered, that is like a confirmation that your phone number is active and in service. That means, you're instantly added to their own call list. So expect repeated calls even after you repeatedly refuse. And it's frustrating. And I'm not exaggerating. Just last month, I've had 34 calls and all of them were all nuisance calls. I got them all reported to http://www.callercenter.com and the FTC in an attempt to have them investigated. |

Here, even our useless service providers mal-treats us with impunity with government looking handicap and helpless to stop their madness. |

I sure do pick......in fact, I'm always restless when an unsaved number calls me, I strive to call the person back, most of the time it's just a pal......and then after confirming I'm like, "never knew twas you ooo, please, I'd call back" |
