When calling a toll free phone number have you had this happen?

You replied to a spammer. An know you are considered “live” and also you “opted in” by responding. So they can spam you with impunity.

Don’t accept a call unless you know the person calling, and start blocking any spam calls.

These were calls I placed to toll free numbers, The first was to UPS. I have a land line with Century Link. They have an application that when I dial it I get no solicitors. Must activate everyday. Works from 8 am to 9 pm. Costs about $5./month.

@si3tech Was this the number you called 1 (800) 742–5877 ? ? For UPS !

I’ve had that happen to me. I hung up and figured out a workaround.

This may or may not be related, but once I made a local call to a friend and ended up talking to a fireman two counties over (long distance).
