We get this call a few times a week. There is never a message left. When I do answer, there are several seconds of silence, meaning it’s an auto dialed call (telemarketer), so I hang up.
All that shows on caller ID is a local number, and I can’t find out online who it belongs to. Now that phone companies sell local numbers to anyone, anywhere, how many people get ripped off because they thought they were dealing with a local company, not someone in a call center several states away. That seems on the borderline of fraud.
Phone companies should protect the interests of their legitimate customers.
