Yesterday was a very big day\u2026. To describe my situation\u2026 <\/p>\n
I have an answering machine that allows me to block numbers. I do not answer phone calls with numbers I do not recognize or that do not come in with caller ID showing\u2026 I do not answer spoofed ID\u2019s like city names, etc. If they do not leave a message for me to call back I do not call back. If they call more than twice they get blocked\u2026 That is how my phone works here. So warning if you call me and I do not know your number than you better leave a message or after the second attempt you will be blocked. <\/p>\n
