The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

I keep getting car phone warehouse calls, someone with a thick accent thats difficult to understand, the number is now blocked, I also get the one ring calls, if I phoned them back I'd find myself on a premium rate line, I've stopped blocking those, every time I block a number they come back on a different number.

I've blocked 43 of those numbers, to date. Seems to have slowed the calls down a bit.

At up to £15 a minute to answer, or part off, I can see why.

My phone displays the senders name if in my address list. If I do not recognise it I never answer and leave it to answering service. Messages are very seldom left and it discourages the junk callers I think as they have mostly stopped calling.

I just ignore them now.

Some people are best put on the ignore list.

It's when the number is similar to one you're expecting a call from and miss, do you return the call or not?

I’ve had a spoofed call listing my own landline number as being the calling number 😁 If I’d answered and found myself on the other end of line We’d be in “ Twilight Zone “ territory 🎶🎶🤔🎶🎶

Thats where the danger lies.

Interesting, the attention to detail when they are investigating a crash scene is amazing.
