This is some bogus number from Norfolk, VA. Have no idea who it is, but I didn't answer the call. Folks, here's how you can stop spammers and unwanted calls to your cell phones. ONLY pick up calls from a VIP list of authorized callers on your cell (AND home) phones. Since my Telebuster was not doing the job fully, I decided to start paying $3.00 extra a month for service to block ALL incoming calls that are not approved on my VIP list. It has been SHEER HEAVEN! Although I hate giving Verizon that money, I also think it is worth it to not have to deal with marketing calls and collection agencies bothering me 24/7. It is BULLETPROOF. Not a single call has gotten through that I didn't want to talk to. As for cell phones, don't pick up calls from folks you don't know that are not in your address book, and ALSO avoid even using a voicemail service. I have NOT activated cell phone voice mail because I don't even want to deal with spammers and marketers leaving me messages. I just shut them ALL out completely on my Tracfone! I am not addicted to cell phone use like the rest of America. I only use it minimally, and when necessary. Less than 70 minutes a month total cell phone use. Come on, America stop pumping your hard earned money into the rip-off cell phone industry. Just use it for brief calls to the ones you love, and by all means don't use text messaging or voice mail. It's a waste of money when the purpose of a cell phone is to be contacted on the go!
