I’ve blocked every one of the numbers, but they just keep pouring in.  I even answered a few to have fun with these people.  But they just hang up.

Stop answering them. Every time you pick up, word goes out on the street in Scamville that you're available.

It was after the 5th or 6th call I finally answered.  All for the same thing from different numbers.  I answered one that “fooled” me, a local number with an actual name on the caller ID.  All the previous ones, that one and the others were all for “Apple” something or other.  (The prior ones left voicemails). It’s sad really, I run a business but rarely answer the phone because it’s usually this kind of bs.  I’ve learned (for the most part) which ones to answer and which not.  But whatever the deal was, these people would not stop calling this evening.  Apparently, business lines are exempt from the “do not call” list.  I wasn’t aware of that until recently.
