Re: Nuisance calls

I received an e mail from a freind yesterday funny enough just before i came across this post regarding calls where noone is there when answering the phone , this is what i was told to do to these calls

If you have a push button phone with a hash key button , when getting these calls press this button 7 times and this will confuse the system that has dialled you and will knock you of there list , i have not tried this yet but its worth a go ,
I was also told the reason why you get these calls is because thousands of numbers are fed into this system , auto dials the number then when you answer it the time , and the day is loged. Then another call will be made on the same day of another week and the same time by a real person because its thought that if you answered the phone say on monday 7pm you will be there next monday at 7pm so the person dialing is more likely to get an answer then not. Dont know if this is true but seems to make sence.
