We get lots of calls that come up on our caller ID as “out of area” with no number listed. I cannot even use my call blocker to block the last call received. It appears that there is no record of the incoming number and my telephone service is unable to help me. Any suggestions?
They are collection agencies, probably making calls for the person who previously had your number. The only thing that you can do is to answer the call, listen to their initial line and ask for a call back number before you answer their question. Tell them that you have been a victim of some phone fraud and need to have their call back number and name, before giving out any information. Then call them back and lay into them for calling you. Tell them that it is illegal to bother you with their problems and that if it happens again, you are going to report them to the state attorney general’s office for prosecution.
