@tasmariah or if you are getting random calls from the States, basically telemarketers, basically you can put your number on the Do not call List.
I do not know how reliable that is. I recently been getting calls to my phone spoofing the same prefix of the first 6 digits of my number two weeks ago. I have been pretending to be a fax line when I pick it up. The calls stopped calling this week. WHew.
I also get my little kid or I listen in on the call when they try to sell me something. I let them tell me the spiel, and talk endlessly with them, and say, sorry I have to go now. And hang up. They sometimes call back and yell at me. And I say, who is this again? I mess people up on that one!
Or sometimes, I answer the phone, and I crank up the stereo really loud. They hang up on the phone pretty quickly on that one. I mean who wants to listen to Justin Bieber!
Or, I also answer the call as a business. I normally use a business that was closed or a current business. Hello, this is Telus, how can I help you. Hello, this is Telus...click! hehe or Oh sorry, this is who? Telus, a telephone company, how can I direct your call? Click!
Or you can call block the numbers on your phone. But, that'll mean you be filling up your phone.
Basically, mess them up. I would normally get calls every six months, but it eventually stops. My wife was getting it, and I picked up her celly, and pretended to be a fax line, they never called back!
