Spam phone calls!

[Zogman]

I have 7 yesterday and 5 so far today. I never pick up and they hang up before it goes to voice mail.
WTF is going on?

My Iphone shows them as 'Potential Spam'

Anyone else have this same problem?

 

[bucksnbears]

Yep. Same here and I haven't had one in a long time.

3 calls..medicare..breast cancer pack...police pack.....always the same dam calls over and over! Drives me nuts!

block the number

Be careful what your phone may consider spam. I had a doctors office (Essentia) calling to set up a referral appointment that my phone kept blocking as spam I believe it was because it was an 800 number, but not sure

I remember some years ago i would get spam calls from local area numbers, but the crazy thing is when i called the number back the person told me they never tried calling, the telemarketing was somehow being able to trick my phone into thinking it was a local number. Now i get telemarketing for my business, i never answer if they are legit they will leave a message. It doesn't matter if you block that number they will just keep calling from a different number, i do notice that some businesses have a prompt you need to listen to before you can actually talk to the business. I wonder if cell phone providers have that option?

Yup they can use other peoples numbers that have no idea..could even be using your number. I had a person call me one time and asked what I needed. I had no clue who it was nor did i call the number. Crazy times.

I do every time. If they really want me they can leave a message and will call back.

Many spam calls for me lately. Often times it says from Northwood, ND. I keep blocking and reporting as Spam and a new number calls the next time.

yep, same here with Essentia . They finally used snail mail to tell me they have been unable to contact me by phone.
