I’ve found it best just to hang up on all solicitations.
yup, if I see a ph# I don’t recognize, I hit the green button and then immediately hit the red button(cordless phone or cell phone). That way they can’t even leave a message.
I have had a number of calls this year that go like this:
Hello- This is ________ from ‘the fulfillment center’.
I NEVER do any online shopping. I do buy horse supplies from a catalog, but I call them directly. They know me there. I get their catalogs regularly.
I do NOT do any online banking nor do I ‘check’ my balance online. I know MY balance-—I look at my checkbook register for that.
These are scam calls & I immediately hang up. I do not have caller ID, so am not sure where they are originating.
