RE: A Warning About Telephone Tech Support Scams And How They Tried To Target My Parents
Is it worth storing phone numbers on their phone from family and friends so that when they ring the name of the person displays? Anything else that displays without a pre-stored name...they can safely ignore. If it's a genuine call, they can leave a message for review later on with your help :-)
That is a good point. Unfortunately sometimes legitimate businesses block their numbers too.
My attitude these days is to screen every call. I never pick up when the landline phone rings and always wait for a review of messages at my own convenience. Chances are if it's a cold call, it's something you don't need.
Pests.
Yes and I suspect if it is important they will leave a message.
