[QUOTE=pooh;308701]I have caller ID on my phones and my tv if tv is on. If I don't recognize the number or it says Private Caller, I let it go to the answering machine. After they hang up, and they never do leave a message, I Google the number to find out exactly what charity or group has called.
If it is someone I know and are trying to reach me, they will call back or leave a message. Good idea to Google the phone number.
I agree this can be very annoying at times. If I do pick-up the phone, I tend to just say I am not interested and hang-up, (my caller I.D. numbers are small and I don't have my reading glasses on so I might pick-up). I've been getting calls to ask me to do a survey. I am very wary about giving out personal information.
I like the Jerry Seinfeld joke when a telemarketer called him at dinner time.
"I was having dinner, Can I call you back when your having dinner" or something like that.
