Strange phone calls

What's strange is that I am getting some, same number ones, and out of curiousity I sometimes will call it back to see if it was someone I know or needs something like a prayer request, I'm in charge of the prayer line in our parish. When I call it back, I get the message that this number is out of service. So - if it's out of service, how come it calls me? If that isn't strange. Then I block it.

Spammers use phone numbers which have been taken out of service. Usually for a day or two; then they change their number to another out of service number. Ignore it.

Money screams; wealth whispers.

It's common from robo callers.

They mimick your area code and pre-fix to make you think it's someone local.

Try a google search for the number. Sites like 800 notes may have info. People report robo calls there.

So then it doesn't even pay to block them, right?

I even get calls from my own name and phone #, according to caller ID, LOL!

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
