That is telemarketers. My caller ID needs an upgrade, to help me filter out all these "unidentified" callers. I get tons of calls from "Toll Free Caller", those are a no brainer.
So many other calls are coming from "no info," or weird area codes. I want to know WHO is calling me, before I decide to answer my phone. That's why I pay for caller ID on my landline.
Worst, though, is these calls coming to my cell phone.
I'm looking for a job, have been sending out resumes, applying to jobs online, and have been using my cellphone as my contact. Luckily I can block calls and texts on my cellphone, but goodness, it gets annoying. There are a lot of people looking to scam job seekers.
Telemarketers should be required to either identify themselves by company name, by the label "unsolicited marketer", or "I will waste your time while trying to get you to buy things you don't want."
i know now people will reply that telemarketers just need a job too. But it is a vampire job. Get a job that doesn't prey upon other people.
