You are correct.
If I don’t know the caller, I don’t answer and then block the number.
“If I don’t know the caller, I don’t answer and then block the number.”
Those numbers are computer generated so blocking the number is futile I get five to six calls a day and it’s never the same number twice... I look at the phone log at the end of the day and delete.
It’s maddening but, if you pick up even to play a game like flush the toilet or stick it out of your car window it’s not really a person it’s oftentimes computer generated so you’re not doing anything but triggering a “yes somebody is at that number” and the calls will continue.
