I did an experiment ... I did not answer any calls that I did not recognize... just ONE day, I had 11 voice mail messages ALL were pure BS (Health Insurance, Buy Gold, Advertise with us)
I hang up now as soon as I hear the tell-tale clicks and background noise... the absolute worst I have found is the BBB ... they don’t quit, used to be Yellow Pages.
I’m not even polite anymore, I just hang up
