What Our Users Reviewed
Two rings then they hung up, so they're just checking to see if my phone is on, I guess I can expect more calls. If it's not in your contacts list then do not answer, ever.
Flagged by phone as a known spam number. These creeps have been trying to get through for years. I found the calls slow down, eventually, if you only ever let it ring out, do not even reject the call and definitely never answer or pick up at all. All that does is guarantee more calls.
