Are You Getting A Lot Of Robo Calls Tonight?

I have never received so many Robo Calls in one day as I have today. Because I have Salisbury News and Caller ID shows the calls are from the Salisbury area I have to answer them.

Here's my tip, (should you be getting them as well). If you answer the phone and say hello and there's silence, HANG UP. If the person on the other end doesn't say anything, it's a Robo Call.

Don't answer numbers you don't recognize because you never know if it's a hacker trying to clone your number. Once they stop ringing, block them from calling you again. Just keep blocking until you don't get any calls anymore. Never too safe.

I call and don't say anything.

Answer and call them idiots and they will hang up on you. If you don't answer they are sure to call you back again.

I keep getting them from some power/solar company-sometimes 20 times a day . When I answer and pretend to want to purchase the service so I can actually talk to someone .. they hang up!

They make a device that requires a human to press the number 1 before transferring the call to your phone.

We got one call from a Salisbury number last night and there was no one on the other end. I think it happened around 7pm.
