Great. I am getting calls from one company every day twice. I called them and asked them to stop calling. They said sure done. But the calls have not stopped. I am inspired by your post.

I used to have this same problem. I'd get called twice a day by the same company, and if I picked up, they would just hang up the phone. Eventually I got tired of this so when I picked up one of their calls, I opened with "Hi, PizzaPizza here, may I take your order please?" After that they never called again.

Do you answer twice a day?

(I would think even scammers stop wasting time on people that are not likely customers)

No I do no answer and usually ignore. But they still keep calling. I think it could be an automated robo call ?

I'm sure it is some sort of automated system. I'm wondering if answering a call and saying no would get your number out of the system.
