These telemarketers use every trick in the book from obtuse caller id’s to using disconnected phone # as cover for their annoying calls. I’ve blocked as many as my phones will accept but they are still coming. I’ve resorted to what so many others have learned through sad experience, if I don’t recognize the number I don’t pick up. If they really want to speak with me, leave a message.

I told one of them that was a pant-load of bull hockey & not to call me again. He proceeded to call me repeatedly just to harass me. I called Verizon & was promised that they would put a block on my line so that no one with a hidden number could get through. The next day, I got the same sort of call – from a woman this time.

When I called Verizon to complain, they told me they couldn’t really block “unknown numbers” and all I could do about is was to ignore the calls. Thankfully, the a-double snakes who was harassing me that night gave up after I made it clear that I was on the other line with Verizon, & hasn’t called back. But for Verizon to tell me that they can’t block unknown numbers is bull.
