Repeated calls from same number

I received a call Thursday from a number I don’t know so didn’t pick it up. The person called back again that day. I ignored the call. Friday, another call came from the same number. And I got it just now as well. Didn’t pick up of course. None of the times a call came from this number has a voicemail been left or a text sent. I went to whitepages and did reverse phone lookup for this number. It doesn’t tell me it’s spam but it also doesn’t tell me who it came from. It says no registered phone owner information found.

Something I found out is that scammers can make the number that appears on your caller ID look like a local number. So you really never know for sure. I just figure that if it's someone who wants to get a hold of me and they are legit they will leave a message.

That’s what I think. If it’s important they’d leave a voicemail or send a text.

@celticeagle I was told that when you get a call from an unknown number you should just ignore it, meaning let it ring. Do not cancel the call. Do not do anything.

I would have picked it up out of curiosity. Just because it was a repeated call. I’d ignore it once, but eventually answer. However, I think I’m in the minority.

If it’s an important call why wouldn’t they leave a voicemail?

I block calls that come from numbers that don't leave a message. If they can't tell me who they are, I don't care about talking to them. If you don't answer that kind of call, they can't do anything to you.

@lovebuglena That's why I block the number. It doesn't matter how many times they call if I can't hear the phone ring and it doesn't show up "unknown caller" on my caller ID.

Only thing is if you keep ignoring the call they make continue calling you.

@lovebuglena They probably figured if you haven't answered by now, you never will. They just moved on to some other sucker they could scam (I'm not insinuating that you're a sucker, but you know what I mean...there is always someone out there who easily falls for scams).

@moffittjc maybe that’s it. I still wonder if it was a scammer or not.

we have an App named TrueCaller...it automatically displays the name of the caller & indicates in case it has been marked as Spam by other receivers...that ways we can decide whether to pick it up or ignore

If I get a call and it could be spam the phone actually displays that info. It says “spam risk” on the caller ID.

@lovebuglena at times, Spammers take a new connection & start calling...by the time other flag it as spam collectively, it has made calls to 20-30 odd people

I doubt that lol. It’s not an international number. Though I hear people can call from anyone and make it so displayed number is local.

Since it's a repeated call from the same number, picking it up wouldn't hurt. I think it's best to know who the caller is

I figure if it’s important they’d leave a message.
