I get a bunch of these calls, and they're not always telemarketers either. They call, don't leave a message.
Then you call back wondering why this stranger called, and then they want to discuss some hefty matters.
A voicemail would have been appropriate.
Are grownups still afraid of talking to an answering machine?
Be careful, I've read that sometimes when you call back you get routed to a toll line in some far off country and you end up running up a large bill. Probably that is just for land lines. I never call back unless the number is one I know.
This is so aggravating. Especially if it's a local number. I quit calling these phantom people back. If you can't leave a short message then it's not important and I don't sweat it anymore.
if it's a non-local area code number and they can't leave a message, they didn't really need me. or, i didn't need to hear from them.
These days, so many people only have cell phones and often just continue with the same number they had when they lived in another state. So the non-local number part if your decision should really be eliminated.
you'd need to get the telemarketing calls I receive from all over.
the ones that are routed through a local area code but are really telemarketers in another state are the worst.
The point remains, no matter who you are - leave a message. From time to time, I'll test my theory by calling back, and it has yet to result in anything other than a telemarketer. I do get "sign calls", and they always leave a message.
Because of the spoofing with phone numbers it's hard to separate the telemarketers from legitimate prospects. I end up answering all the calls and hanging up on the telemarketers.
