So we don't pick up the landline except rarely, but now they're calling the (listed on do not call list) cell numbers. Because I sometimes receive calls out of the blue from past clients or from new prospects that they refer to me, I can't just ignore all unidentified calls.
You are correct and it’s exactly why I take all calls, especially from calls identified as from my area code.
And I just had one a couple of minutes ago, a recording claiming to be from my insurance company stating my name and asking me to say "yes' or "no" to an is-this-you question. I hung up on it.
