Pat Riot Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I saw this article this morning. It’s reminiscent of the Bahama scam from a few years ago where you call a number left on voicemail and you end up paying $20 a minute for a call back. https://www.kbtx.com/content/news/FCC-warning-against-One-Ring-scam-calls-509507441.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catlow4697 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Just Me but if you call me and I don't answer and you don't leave a message Sorry for your luck because I will not call you back. I look at the calls this way if your call is important leave a message . Some days 6 or more robo calls . If you answer , then hang up that just tells the computer that this is an active number and your number is called again . I got phone calls from a number one number away from mine I didn't answer it then the next call was one number farther away. this whet on for days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I signed up for the Verizon robo call package. It really seems to cut down on the calls I get. I was getting 5-6 a day before. I tried their 10 free trial and they cut it down to 1 a day. The caller's name appears on my screen even if they aren't in my phone book. I have almost eliminated the robo calls. I think it's about $3.00 a month on the cell phone bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I got three in one hour from MY OWN NUMBER AND MY OWN NAME. Third one I picked up and snarled "I do NOT treat with liars, this better be GOOD!" Multiple ringing clicks as if it was coming from overseas. No calls since.
