Do you receive any of those annoying telemarketing calls? I don't know how they do it but they always seem to call me at the most inappropriate times.
And they seem to call one after another.
It's like they knew that you said no to the last caller so maybe you will so ok-yes to the next! Well I have had enough.
And thankfully there are systems in place now to prevent this from continually happening.
By using a reverse phone number lookup you can be sure of who is calling you without answering the call.
The next time you have a call that you suspect is from a telemarketer don't answer it.
Simply let the call ring out and then retrieve the missed call from your phone.
You may have this number stored in your caller ID or else you can contact your phone provider and they can tell you the last number that you missed.
Now use a reverse phone number lookup.
There are many companies online that provide this service and while some are free, it seems that the paid sites have larger databases and provide more accurate results.
By using this service you will be able to learn the name, address and some other basic information about the person who just called you.
This will determine if the caller was a friend or family or one of those annoying telemarketers.
If it was a telemarketer you can place a call-bar on this number with your phone provider.
Better yet if you register your phone number with the Do Not Call Registry you should not receive any telemarketing calls! However some telemarketers will still illegally call you even if your number is on the registry.
So this is when you need to hold you ground.
If they are still calling after you have registered your details and you have confirmed this by using a reverse phone number lookup then you have solid evidence and can take further action with the authorities.
