these are voice activated tele-marketers...if you pick up the phone, and say nothing (stay silent)...after about 4 seconds, the call will automatically disconnect.....if you answer with a "hello" or any voice tone, the computer connects you to the telemarketer.....so now if i don't recognize the number, i answer, but say nothing....there is no human voice at the other end, and if it was a real family emergency, the person would ask..."hello" "hello" "is anyone there".....you got to outsmart them at their game....

Some guy with an east indian accent called to inform me that he wanted to lower my interest rate. I asked where he was calling from. Arizona, he said.  I informed him that I was on the no-call list. he hung up.

I'm in B.C. It was an automated message saying "this is Lisa calling about your credit card. There is no problem, it's just to notify you that your credit card company has now qualified you for a lower interest rate as low as 6%. Press 9 to be connected to a representative.An east Indian sounding man answered.said he was in Alberta Canada.and sad he needed to verify who i was.Wanted type of card,exp. date.I stopped answering him.He hung up and called back.This time my call display showed unavailable name and unknown number.I didn't speak, the same mans voice said mister and used my last name.which I didn't give him.He said my name again, and then hung up. My phone than rang again with +1 888-556-5158 as the display.The same man said thank you using my last name again.And waited a moment before hanging up again.No calls since.

Some nonesence call center saying they could lower our credit card interest rate. When my wife pressed '1' to tell them to REMOVE us from our their call list, they answered - first by coughing (LOL) and then when asked to remove us from their list, they simply hung up.
