Super User Lund Explorer Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 The most interesting calls are those that show your number on the caller ID display. We never answer a call that has our number as the caller. Actually we do not answer any calls where we do not recognize the number. If the caller wants to speak with us, they can leave a message, identifying themselves. That's the only answer! Quote
Super User RoLo Posted December 29, 2014 Super User Posted December 29, 2014 actually you wasted 15 minutes of your own time. Exactly. After 15 seconds have elapsed, they figure they've got a fish on the line. The most interesting calls are those that show your number on the caller ID display. We never answer a call that has our number as the caller. Actually we do not answer any calls where we do not recognize the number.

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted December 29, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted December 29, 2014 We take it a step further - ALL calls are answered by our answering machine. If it's somebody we know, they'll start to leave a message, and we'll pick up. Telemarketers and scammers hang up before the beep. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Our line got so bad I just dumped the land line. We were even on the do not call list. Cell only now, I haven't had issues in a long time with scams. Quote

It was about 35.00 a month for my land line. 1 Quote
