I never answer the phone if it is a number I do not know, and will just delete the voicemail without listening to it.

Welcome to cellphone marketing calls. Cellphones aren't private any more. I get a few that are linked to Florida and somewhere else.
I read that the "no answer back" calls are computers that are just dailing numbers to see if they are active. If you answer then it knows some one has that number and the non stop calling begins. |

FYI, Out bound CID numbers can be programmed into the switch so that the number displayed on your Caller ID is not necessarily the number that is calling you. In this case I know it is not because Toll Free numbers only work for inbound calling. If you get a call from 800,866, 888 etc, it for sure is not coming from that number.

I was getting bugged by the US Fidelis auto-dialer for a while last year and lately it's been the 'constituent survey' auto-dialer.
I just ignore it if it's not someone I know. (or, more often, I just sleep through it since they call in the late morning to early afternoon)

I logged on last night and added that number to a "block list" I never knew I had until you told me
