Re: Spam Calls?

Happens every day. If I don't recognize the #, I don't answer. Rarely do they leave a message. More political calls lately, too. I block a lot of calls.

From what I've heard, a computer does the actual dialing. They can dial thousands of numbers a day and many people don't answer so they save money by not paying a real person to do the initial dialing. Of course, if no one answers, the computer doesn't leave a message except in those instances where the company has a pre-recorded message that goes to everyone they call.

If someone does answer, the call is transferred to a live person. That's why there's usually silence for a few seconds if you do answer because they're switching you over to a live person to do their dirty work.

@nambee

That is true. almost all are computerized.

@beach-mom everyday. Ilet them go to voice mail.

In the evening, I do a block and delete session.

If you dont answer they do get less and less. If you answer and a few seconds go by with no one saying anything on the other side, your nuber is being listed as a live active one and it gets on lists for other solicitors.

I jnow this to be true from experimenting from the last 6 months,
