I get these a lot .. I don't answer as they are probably some type of spam or phishing call.  I figure if it is important enough the person will leave a message.

I usually google the number, if it's a telemarketing/scam number I block it right a way!

    Do not talk to them because it is too risky.

It is so hard to protect yourself from those that are looking to take advantage of someone else through scamming, spamming or whatever they call it.  It can become very discouraging and annoying.  I may have to find some of the apps ladavia89 was talking about.

So gratefully for caller ID.  I never answer a call whose number I don't recognize.  Figure if it that important they will leave a message.

I like ladavia89's recommendation. I may end up using a similar app. In the meantime, for me, I usually add numbers such as those to the blocked list on Verizon's website.

Crazy me thought we were all getting calls from random numbers.  If you care to know, you could google the number.  Or crazy thought, answer it.
