1/6/2023 0 Comments Random phone numbersI just don't think that telemarketers are so savvy that they know where my Nmom has lived in the past and where her relatives have retired. I don't doubt that I'm getting an occasional call from a telemarketer. The main issue I have with it is how incredibly creepy it is.Įdit: I bolded a sentence above for emphasis. Plus, it isn't really that big of an annoyance, since I always have my phone on silent and usually on "do not disturb" mode. The obvious solution is to change my number, but I'm not really in a position to do that right now. I don't think my Ndad would do something like this, this has Nmom written all over it. Sometimes I wonder if my Nmom was passing my number around, trying to get me to answer the phone. I may consider answering if they left a message as to why they are calling, or if the same number called many days in a row, but they never do. I cannot think of any legitimate reason why I would be getting these random calls from random numbers. I have never answered one of these calls. None of these numbers ever have complaints attached to them, further indicating that these are home lines and not businesses. Also, there are many sites where people can leave comments about particular numbers, so people can find out if it's a telemarketer or a business, which I've previously found very useful. An oddly disproportionate number are land lines, which would indicate older people to me. I used to google the numbers, but they all appear to be personal (non-business) lines. I have noticed a disproportionate number of them come from three areas in the country that I have family, which is a pretty huge giveaway. These numbers are from all over the country, absolutely never from my local area. This did not happen before I went NC, which was about 18 months ago now. Occasionally there will be spurts when I get one every day for several days in a row. Sometimes I get a couple in a day, sometimes I'll go a couple weeks without getting one. Sometimes they call twice in a row, but the numbers do not repeat other than that. Just a question, curious if anyone else experienced this.Įvery since going NC, I've gotten random phone calls from numbers that I do not recognize in varying frequency.
