    In Canada that's a daily routine expect its 'Air Duct Cleaning Services'..it's a total scam. Ironically, though even if it's a legit Air duct cleaning service that does call anyone in the future. Once they hear an accent they immediately hangup the phone.

    Every iPhone has a setting to silence callers who are not in your list of contacts.

    if I’m on a long drive and wanna talk and it’s an actual person calling I will play along and keep ‘em on the phone as long as possible

    or just tell them
    “my parole officer say’d I caint buy nuthin’ else on duh phone “
     
    tscottme, Grubby#1, armo and 1 other person Thank this.

    Answering the phone call from scammers increases the number of scammer calls you will get later, even if you curse them and demandvthey never call again. Let every unknown caller go to voicemail. If the call is legit they will leave a VM. I block every number I don't recognize and that doesn't leave a VM.
     
    Numb Thanks this.
