Seriously though...I’ve had several calls from my area code that were shams. A couple weeks back I answered a call and a woman launched into a sales spiel. I asked where she was calling from. She said “Utah”. I asked her why she would think I’d trust her if she was using shady illegal telephone tactics to call me.
“Click”...she hung up.
I pretty much don’t answer anymore if I don’t recognize the number. If it’s important...they’ll leave a message.
